00:00Дом был в Альстаре, и Натиша Хидемен, как бы ты не был там, stud-буд.
00:05Я думаю, в таком городе, если вы посмотрите на эти два ростера.
00:10На Нью-Йорке ростер, нет игроков, нет игроков, 24.5 лет.
00:16Сеатлелы с 6 лет, на их ростер, 4 лет, 4 лет, нет игроков, нет игроков, нет игроков, нет игроков, нет
00:25игроков.
00:25Малайшер-газ, нет игроков, нет игроков.
00:28Все мы даём игроков, где он не игроков, плащи-газ, и как она встает к нам, как он реакция.
00:34И как она готовится к игрокам, время, время, время, и все это зафиксировано, но все это зафиксировано.
00:38В этом году она ещё одними, я сказала, что это будет с демоник.
00:41Это что-то я думаю, потому что Дом только 20-летний.
00:44Дом ocasionально получился на альф ice в сайте.
00:473-10 лет за один минут для Дом Малайша.
00:51Я думаю, что они просто должны уйти.
00:52Продолжение следует...
01:24Продолжение следует...
01:25Продолжение следует...
01:26Rebound Nastier the other way...
01:31Kick to the corner...
01:32Free ball...
01:33Back iron...
01:34A lot of black jerseys in there...
01:36And Eze comes up with it...
01:40Magmagor...
01:41All the way to the 10...
01:42She'll go to the free throw line...
01:43Nicely done...
01:44Gotta see it...
01:45More of it...
01:46I mean putting pressure on the rim for Eze Magmagor...
01:49But...
01:49Talk about putting pressure on the rim...
01:51Putting pressure everywhere...
01:52How do you defend that?
01:54Can't...
01:54And that's what you love to see with Dom...
01:55Getting all of her work inside...
01:57And getting comfortable from three...
01:58Then you hit the fade away...
01:59But Stewie right back at ya...
02:02Superstars doing superstar things...
02:05In this game...
02:05Alongo is 17...
02:07Stewie with 16...
02:08Very similar field goal percentage as well...
02:11Dom is 7 of 11...
02:12Stewie is 7 of 12...
02:14That's why we saw all the celebs in the house...
02:16I mean I know it's New York...
02:17And it's common...
02:18But on Monday...
02:19It was the whole Ted Lasso crew...
02:20It was Hillary Clinton...
02:21Steve Kerr...
02:24And this is the second highest...
02:28Attendance team in the WNBA...
02:3016,000 a game...
02:32Only trailing Golden State...
02:44So Maggador...
02:45Breaks a streak...
02:47Of nine straight Seattle points...
02:49Scored by Dom Malongo...
02:51I think they'll take it...
02:54Laje with it...
02:58Check out...
02:58She missed it...
02:59So we still have the streak...
03:00Here's Dom...
03:01Trying to make it 11...
03:02And she does...
03:03Keep the streak going...
03:04Dom Malongo...
03:05Just unstoppable...
03:06Right now...
03:07And look how neutral...
03:08She looks...
03:09There's no celebrating...
03:10She's staying at the same pace...
03:12Not too fast...
03:13Not too slow...
03:17SDA drives in...
03:19Kick out...
03:20Here's Allen...
03:20Who started this game...
03:21With 10 early points...
03:23She's been quiet since...
03:24That's a shot...
03:25You're gonna take...
03:25Every single time...
03:27Absolutely...
03:28Jade...
03:28Thinks about it...
03:30Keeps the dribble...
03:31Now Taxel...
03:32Gets the step...
03:33On Sabrina...
03:34And scores...
03:35Jade Melvin...
03:36Can tie things up...
03:37Here at 50...
03:38Had all...
03:39The right side...
03:40Of the floor...
03:40To work with...
03:41On her own...
03:42One-on-one...
03:44D...
03:45Get through...
03:46The legs...
03:47And then...
03:47Right past...
03:48Sabrina Ionescu...
03:49They took advantage...
03:49Of that matchup...
03:50In Seattle...
03:51When they beat...
03:52The Liberty...
03:52They went at...
03:53Ionescu...
03:54Over and over again...
03:55Trying to challenge...
03:56Her foot speed...
03:57Jade...
03:58Getting the win...
04:01There...
04:04Jade...
04:04Knocks down...
04:05The free throw...
04:06And we are back...
04:07Even...
04:07Remember...
04:08Folks...
04:08It was...
04:0923-8...
04:10New York...
04:11In this game...
04:16Seattle...
04:16Cut a...
04:1724-7...
04:18Deficit...
04:18On Monday...
04:19Down to a...
04:19Three-point...
04:20Deficit...
04:20But...
04:21Never got it...
04:22Back to...
04:22Even...
04:23Like...
04:23They have...
04:23Tonight...
04:24Jones...
04:24Great...
04:25Post...
04:25Position...
04:26Fully...
04:26On...
04:27Da...
04:27Malanga...
04:28Nothing...
04:28You're gonna...
04:29Do...
04:29If she...
04:29Catches...
04:29It...
04:30In the...
04:30Restricted...
04:31Area...
04:32Storm...
04:32Have to be able...
04:33To defend...
04:34That...
04:34Sabrina...
04:34Inescu...
04:35Pick and roll...
04:36While...
04:37Inescu...
04:38Jones...
04:39Wide...
04:43Pretty decent...
04:44Look at that...
04:44One...
04:45Hit a lot...
04:45Of the rim...
04:45But...
04:46Would not fall...
04:48Seattle...
04:48Three of...
04:49Five...
04:50Jones...
04:51Triple...
04:51And...
04:52We're...
04:53Gonna...
04:53Stay here...
04:54With a...
04:54Foul...
04:54Jade...
04:55Melvin...
04:56As...
04:56She...
04:57Fouls...
04:57And...
04:59The...
04:59Liberty...
04:59Offense...
05:00Right...
05:00Here...
05:00John...
05:01Jones...
05:01Getting it...
05:01The...
05:02Handoff...
05:02To...
05:03Yonescu...
05:03And...
05:03Immediately...
05:04Screens...
05:04Well...
05:05They're...
05:05Trying to...
05:06Hard...
05:06Hedge...
05:16On...
05:17Sabrina...
05:29Yonescu...
05:29She...
05:30She...
05:30Tackles...
05:31The...
05:31Lane...
05:31And...
05:32Scores...
05:33Sabrina...
05:33Yonescu...
05:34Has been quiet...
05:35That is her...
05:36First...
05:36Field goal...
05:37Of the game...
05:38She was 0 of 6...
05:39Wow...
05:40And...
05:40Using...
05:41Initially...
05:42Thought she was gonna use the screen...
05:43Kind of...
05:44Rejects it...
05:44From...
05:44Jones...
05:45But...
05:46This was a match-up...
05:47That was...
05:47Just a money-maker...
05:48On Monday...
05:50Yonescu...
05:50Against...
05:50Flauge Johnson...
05:51Going back and forth...
05:52Getting...
05:53Feisty...
05:54Getting fiery...
05:55Elevating each other's games...
05:57Kind of...
05:57Smiling at each other...
05:58After getting a good move...
05:59On the other...
05:59So...
06:00Flauge...
06:01Does that...
06:01Fire you up...
06:02Right?
06:03Don't let...
06:03Yonescu...
06:04Take over this game...
06:06Sabrina...
06:06Quiet today...
06:07Only 4 points...
06:08But...
06:08She's got...
06:0925 or more...
06:10In 6 of her last...
06:1112 games...
06:14Pala...
06:15Steps back...
06:16Fires back...
06:16Iron...
06:17Great rebound...
06:17Positioned by...
06:18Don...
06:18Malanga...
06:19Can't get it to go...
06:20Let's pat the stats...
06:21And get 2...
06:23Relentless inside...
06:27Malanga...
06:28Working on a double-double...
06:30She's got 19 and 6...
06:37Stuey...
06:38Elbow Jay...
06:39No good...
06:40In fact...
06:41Allen tried to reach over the top of Heideman...
06:42Who had her sealed off nicely...
06:44Flauge's been caught quiet...
06:46It's about time for Category 4 to erupt here...
06:49Heideman the crossover...
06:50Look out...
06:51Couldn't finish...
06:52However...
06:52That was a great looking move...
06:53Just short arms the runner...
07:03Of 6...
07:04Those 2...
07:04Combined for 4...
07:06I mean...
07:06Take a look...
07:07You're down 3 in this game...
07:09And...
07:10Flauge and Heideman have 4 points...
07:12That is wild...
07:13Dominique Malanga...
07:14Really putting the team on her back...
07:16Right now...
07:17Offensively...
07:17And frustrating...
07:19Opposing...
07:20Players on defense...
07:23And...
07:23Dom Malanga...
07:24Has her 7th rebound...
07:25Which gives her...
07:26400...
07:27For her career...
07:28So she passes...
07:29Lauren Jackson...
07:30In another category tonight...
07:31Youngest player ever...
07:33To...
07:34400...
07:34Rebounds...
07:35As Sabrina Ionescu...
07:36Starting to warm up...
07:37A little bit...
07:38Such a hard shot...
07:39To make too...
07:40I believe it was off...
07:41A flare string...
07:42Getting her feet set...
07:45The march...
07:46Sabrina the rebound...
07:47In the corner...
07:52Pass...
07:53Ionescu...
07:53The 1...
07:542...
07:54Scoops it up...
07:55And...
07:55Sonia Rahman...
07:56Might need a timeout...
07:57Here...
07:58Inside 5...
08:05Ionescu...
08:05Is on...
08:06A heater...
08:12Itaman...
08:13Double-teamed...
08:14It turns it over...
08:15Hook pass...
08:15Brianna Stewart...
08:16Up top...
08:17She will lay it up...
08:18And in...
08:18And here are these runs...
08:20That teams have gone on...
08:22Against Seattle...
08:23We've seen...
08:23Two of them...
08:24In Monday's game...
08:26Now two of them...
08:27In this game...
08:28And New York...
08:29Leads...
08:30By 10...
08:30A 12-2 run...
08:32No timeout...
08:33Was taken prior...
08:33But it's taken now...
08:36Owes nothing...
08:37But to be clutch...
08:38When her team needs it...
08:39She's got...
08:40Eight points...
08:41In this quarter...
08:41Like you mentioned...
08:42But it's been...
08:43Quite a bit...
08:43In fast break...
08:44Where there's not...
08:45Much communication...
08:46And transition defense...
08:47For the Storm...
08:48She's just...
08:49A really good player...
08:50And when you...
08:50Force her...
08:51When you chase her...
08:52Off screen...
08:52She's going to...
08:53She's going to be...
08:54Aggressive...
08:55But earlier...
08:55We saw her...
08:56Pass out of those...
08:57Scenarios...
08:57Right now...
08:58Take over time...
08:59For UNESCO...
09:00She's taking it...
09:00Herself...
09:01Storm...
09:02Need their guards...
09:02To step up...
09:03Because right now...
09:04You've got...
09:04Heideman and Johnson...
09:05Who combined...
09:06For 30 points...
09:07A game...
09:08They have...
09:08Four...
09:09It's really...
09:10Dom...
09:10Malanga...
09:11And no one else...
09:11For Seattle...
09:12Malanga...
09:13Is 9 of 14...
09:1464%...
09:15From the floor...
09:16All other...
09:16Storm players...
09:17Are 13 of 38...
09:18That's just...
09:1934 points...
09:20So Dom...
09:20Is going to...
09:21Need some help...
09:21In the last...
09:2214 minutes...
09:23For them...
09:23To come back...
09:24From this...
09:2410 point deficit...
09:25It's a...
09:2512-2 run...
09:26Right now...
09:26Alwafam...
09:27Tries to cut into it...
09:28And does...
09:28There you go...
09:29Alwafam...
09:30Has hit a couple...
09:30Now...
09:30She is...
09:31The leader...
09:32When it comes...
09:33To after timeout...
09:34Plays...
09:34Scripted...
09:35To her...
09:35That's a rookie...
09:3720 plays...
09:38Total...
09:38This season...
09:39After timeouts...
09:40Go to...
09:40Alwafam...
09:41And that was...
09:41A beautiful...
09:42Flare screen...
09:42By Dom...
09:44And on that one...
09:45And it's a turnover...
09:46Ostier...
09:46Couldn't handle...
09:47It'll be...
09:47Seattle basketball...
09:49In second place...
09:50No surprise...
09:51Netisha...
09:52Heidemann...
09:52Right behind...
09:55Alwafam...
09:55Seattle...
09:56Hasn't done...
09:57As good a job...
09:58Coming back...
09:59From second half...
10:00Deficits...
10:00As they have...
10:01First half...
10:02So let's see...
10:03If this is gonna be...
10:04Different...
10:05In this one...
10:06And that ball...
10:07Little bit...
10:07Too wide...
10:09For Ziya...
10:09But she didn't get...
10:10Two hands on it...
10:11What do you think...
10:11Is that the...
10:11Pass or the catch...
10:12I think it's a catch...
10:13I think...
10:13As I kind of got...
10:14Mad at herself...
10:15There...
10:15When you get...
10:16I mean...
10:16It's the same thing...
10:17In football...
10:17When you get...
10:17One hand on it...
10:18You should be able...
10:18To catch it...
10:19Bring it in...
10:20Only the 6th...
10:21Turnover...
10:22For Seattle...
10:24They have played...
10:25Slop free...
10:26Over the last...
10:27That's a word...
10:28Slop free...
10:28That's a word...
10:28Slop free...
10:29It is now...
10:30I just coined it...
10:32There's John Quill...
10:34Didn't even think...
10:34About shooting...
10:35Thought she might pull that...
10:39Minescu...
10:39Good pace...
10:40Staying in front...
10:41Jade Melvin...
10:42Making it hard on her...
10:43That was...
10:44Oh...
10:44There's...
10:45Oh...
10:45My...
10:47Goodness...
10:48I gotta see this again...
10:50Because I wanna know...
10:51What Jade Melvin...
10:52Could've possibly...
10:53Done differently...
10:54On this defensive possession...
10:55She was with her...
10:56The whole drive...
10:58And Minescu...
10:58Just pivot...
10:59After pivot...
11:00After pivot...
11:00Getting into the body...
11:02And it's tough...
11:03When the offensive player...
11:04Initiates contact...
11:06The defense...
11:07Has to react...
11:08A little bit...
11:09And...
11:09That was the adjustment...
11:10During that time out...
11:11Flauge was guarding...
11:12Ionescu...
11:13For most of...
11:14The fourth quarter...
11:15Most of the game...
11:16Now you see...
11:16Melvin on her...
11:18And...
11:19Iscu...
11:19Now...
11:20With...
11:20Thirteen...
11:22Points...
11:22She did not have...
11:23A field goal...
11:24In the first half...
11:29Back to a...
11:30Ten point...
11:30Game...
11:31And...
11:32A whistle...
11:33It's gonna be...
11:33Off the ball...
11:34On...
11:34Rebecca Allen...
11:39Man...
11:39I thought...
11:40Jade played...
11:41Incredible...
11:42Defense...
11:43On...
11:44Possession...
11:45I think...
11:45That might be...
11:46A whistle...
11:46That happens...
11:46At Barclays Center...
11:47And...
11:47Not...
11:48Climate Pledge Arena...
11:49For...
11:49Sabrina...
11:52Ionescu...
11:53That's...
11:54Pass...
11:54Dom...
11:55Thought about it...
11:56Catch and...
11:56Shoot...
11:57To...
11:57A very...
11:58Confident...
11:59Rookie...
11:59Right now...
12:00Awafam...
12:01Had...
12:01Really...
12:02Struggled...
12:02Coming...
12:03Into...
12:03This...
12:03Game...
12:03She was...
12:0416...
12:04Of...
12:05Her...
12:05Last...
12:0560...
12:06From...
12:06Three...
12:07That is...
12:0827...
12:09But...
12:09She has...
12:10Knocked down...
12:10Three...
12:11Of...
12:11Five...
12:12Today...
12:13And...
12:13All of...
12:13Them...
12:14Have...
12:14Just been...
12:14So...
12:15Pure...
12:15No...
12:32Second...
12:33That...
12:33Got...
12:33Seattle...

13:19High...
13:20Fives...
13:21High...
13:26No...
13:35Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
13:56and they are shooting 85% on the season for the line.
14:00That is fourth best in the history of the game.
14:04My goodness.
14:05They're 14 of 16 today.
14:07Seattle just 4 of 6.
14:10Here's Dom to the lane and scores
14:12and they'll get an and-one opportunity.
14:14Great feed from Jade and the finish from Dom Malanga.
14:18It's like pick your poison.
14:20I know Flaugé's not on the court right now,
14:21but she does the right-handed finger roll.
14:23Dom with the left-handed finger roll as of late
14:25has just been money off the glass
14:28around the 6'11 Honshu
14:31to keep it under control
14:33with some body contact.
14:35Dom Malanga having herself a game.
14:37Now this is the exact moment
14:39when the starters got pulled last game
14:41and they got boat raced
14:44over the next three minutes.
14:45We will see if Sonia Raman
14:47maybe sticks with the starters
14:49a little longer in this.
14:51They don't have a game for three A's.
14:54That one's off the mark.
14:56Yep, and you've got, obviously Lou is the reserve
14:59and Ziya is the reserve, but...
15:01Oh, Lou just came in.
15:03So now they've got just Jade and Malanga,
15:05the only two starters,
15:06but Fahm is essentially a starter.
15:08And Dolson just checked in as well.
15:14But this is what is being...
15:17Ah, Katie Lou, the right...
15:19I hope she's not holding that right knee.
15:21Obviously, coming off the ACL tear
15:24last season.
15:29Oh, the bench is back in now.
15:32So the same rotation.
15:33We'll see if it has the similar results
15:35as the last game.
15:37It's a seven-point deficit right now
15:41because New York still has Brianna
15:42and Sabrina in the game.
15:44Yep, and that's the difference.
15:46The last game, they did not have Sabrina
15:47on the court at the end of the third quarter.
15:49Vinescu to drive.
15:50Can't get it to go.
15:52Snatched down by Awa Fahm.
15:54Fahm's had a really nice game, 11th.
15:58Hesitation move.
15:59Oh, Jake couldn't hold on to it.
16:02Ball loose and Sabrina has it.
16:08Gardner.
16:08Bounce past Johannes.
16:15Good D.
16:17And a turnover is going to go
16:19into the back court on the over and back.
16:20So it'll be Seattle basketball.
16:22Taking a look at the minutes.
16:23I mean, Seattle's not in any minute
16:26problem at all for the starters.
16:27I mean, Flauget has played 19.
16:29Heidemann's played 19.
16:31Dom and Melvin have played 22.
16:33And as he's played 14.
16:35So nobody's going to be in that 34-35 range.
16:39We've got a quick glimpse of Sue Bird
16:41on the sideline there in New York.
16:44Love it.
16:46But you're right, this group is the one that struggled in transition defense, gave up a 9-0 run
16:50in the final seconds of the third quarter on Monday.
16:53So how do they respond today?
16:55Brianna stepping in there.
16:56She is just, she has got to step in recently in these games, really since the beginning of
17:03July that I didn't see earlier on in the season.
17:06Yeah, a quickness that has just held through.
17:09I mean, at 31, she's, you know, nowhere near the older group of the WNBA, but she's not the
17:14younger group anymore.
17:21She throws it off the window.
17:23No good.
17:24Collision.
17:24Who's the foul going to be on?
17:26It looks like they'll keep it here.
17:28So good news for Seattle is Jordan Horstin is not called for the foul on that loose ball.
17:37Obviously, the resident of New York grew up in New York, but she's ours.
17:41There's the goat right there.
17:46She's got the executive look today.
17:48She's got the, you know, the blazer.
17:50Yep.
17:51Business.
17:52All business.
17:56What a pleasure it was.
17:57So many years calling her games.
18:01Statue outside of Kana Pudge Arena is well-deserved, along with Lenny Wilkins.
18:07Six-point game.
18:08So we have not seen the run from New York that we saw on Monday at the tail end of
18:12the third.
18:12Good news.
18:15Three ball on the way.
18:17That's off the mark.
18:17Rebound Ziya Cook.
18:18And maybe they can cut this lead back down to four, which is where it was at halftime,
18:22or potentially even make it a one-possession deficit.
18:34Ziya was seven.
18:35Drives in.
18:36Good look.
18:37And she is fouled.
18:39So Ziya Cook goes to the free throw line, trying to make it a four-point game.
18:44Immediately read that Honshu was trying to hedge, turns that corner easy.
18:50Again, the foot speed, Ziya Cook doing what she should do.
18:53And a chance now, like you mentioned, to cut this thing to four.
19:04Ziya's seven points per game this season.
19:11Struggle from the field in the last four games.
19:14It's just six of 25.
19:16She's one of four in this one.
19:18She's got now four points, and it is a four-point deficit.
19:25There's Brianna.
19:26Three ball on the way.
19:28I thought for a second there there might have been a foul call.
19:30Look at Brianna.
19:30She thinks there should have been a foul call, but hasn't scored since nine minutes left to go in the
19:37first quarter.
19:38And you've got to imagine that she might put on a little bit of a show when she gets it
19:42back in there.
19:42But the question we were asked in the break, when is she going to get back in there?
19:45When is – well, now you've got Heidman back in.
19:47When is Dom going to come back in the game?
19:49Because Sonia Raman waited until about the 6.40 mark of the fourth quarter to bring him back in on
19:55Monday's game.
19:56And they were already down 16 when that happened.
19:58Yeah, you want this to be under control, but that second reserve group with a few starters at the end
20:03of the third quarter held serve, right?
20:05It was a four-point game by the end of that third quarter as it is now.
20:09So they did their job.
20:10But Dom has been dominating this game.
20:13Flaugé, you need her defense to fuel her offense to get going.
20:17Well, Jones takes it into the lane and scores.
20:21Now, there is no Sabrina, no Brianna right now on the floor.
20:25So it is mostly reserves.
20:28Jonquil Jones not being one of them.
20:31And this is a matchup advantage.
20:35JJ, like we mentioned, 6'6", 215, taking Jordan Horst into the rack.
20:40Double-double.
20:41Jonquil Jones, 10 points, 12 rebounds, now 11 and 12.
20:46And because we were talking Flaugé, she is one 25-point performance away from tying Brianna Stewart's Storm franchise record
20:55for 25-point games as a rookie.
20:58One game away.
20:59I don't know if it's going to happen tonight.
21:02She'll get it.
21:03Oh, that's for sure.
21:04Here's a turnover.
21:05Oh, Seattle gets it back though.
21:06Nice job by Zyacook.
21:07Hustling back on defense.
21:10Spin move.
21:11Kick back out.
21:12Great look by Dolson.
21:14Oh, in and out.
21:16Heartbreaker for Seattle.
21:17Oh.
21:20That was 90% down the bucket.
21:23Seattle has only 16 field goals from players not named Dom Milano.
21:33Johnquil Jones stepped back.
21:35And of course, that one rolls in.
21:37It's the same exact shot as what we saw on the other end.
21:40And one rolled out and one rolled in.
21:42And hers was a higher degree of difficulty to step back for J. Jones.
21:46That's easy with it.
21:52Zyacook crossover.
21:55This is that one.
21:56Step Wilson kicked back out.
21:58As he's good.
21:58Look, let's get it to go.
22:00And it'll be New York basketball.
22:12How long will they go without bringing Dom back?
22:16Back in.
22:16That'll be the question.
22:19And what will happen between now and then?
22:21Yep.
22:22That's the more important question.
22:24Especially with.
22:24Oh.
22:25There's 14.
22:25There you go.
22:29So a lot quicker than the last game.
22:31Last game was inside seven minutes when most of the starters came back.
22:36Three ball.
22:38Yohannes no.
22:39Offensive rebound.
22:40Put back is up and in.
22:41Astier.
22:42These are the details of the fourth quarter.
22:45The Storm have struggled.
22:47Closing out.
22:47Everybody boxing out.
22:49Taking care of the ball.
22:50Defending without fouling.
22:53Check screen by Dom.
22:55Back to Ezzie.
22:56Puts her head down.
22:56Goes in hard in the lane.
22:57No good.
22:58Dom tries to keep it alive.
22:59And does.
23:00And scores.
23:00You cannot stop Dom Malonga tonight.
23:04She makes everything look so easy, too.
23:06I mean, she's surrounded by trees.
23:096'11 Honshu.
23:106'6 John Quill Jones grabs the old board and easily goes up at the left.
23:16There's a 1-2 on the lane and a layup by Astier.
23:20So Seattle's defense struggling a little bit here in the early stages of the fourth.
23:24Oh, Liberty Lane 79-67.
23:28Mom getting set to check back in, as will Jade.
23:35Presumably for Horston and Ezzie.
23:38Here's Dom.
23:39Another bucket.
23:40She's got 25 on 11 of 16.
23:44So efficient.
23:45Every time she gets the ball, she needs to be looking at the rim.
23:52And we got a whistle and a foul.
23:55And as Jordan will step out, Dom Malonga has moved into the top eight in both rebounds per
24:06game and blocks per game in the WNBA.
24:09Her numbers just continue to rise.
24:11Her scoring average is going to be up about 17 a game after this one.
24:16She's got 27 now.
24:18Now, correction, our stats here were a little slow.
24:21So 27 for Dom Malonga.
24:26Here's Sabrina with five.
24:29John Quill Jones in the corner.
24:30No good.
24:31And it will be New York ball, but just 1.7 left.
24:36And you've got to feel like Dom's got to get a touch every possession from here on out.
24:41She doesn't have to shoot every time, but she's got to get a touch.
24:44Yes.
24:44Anytime it's not in, I mean, unless they have a wide open look in transition, take it.
24:48But her hands need to be on the ball.
24:50Oh, wow.
24:51Seattle dodged a bullet there because that was a great play call.
24:56Jade got beat to the basketball, but showing great hustle here.
25:01This reminds me of that Connecticut game, roofed by the guard.
25:06Swats into the second row and then has a reaction for Dom.
25:090.2 left.
25:11Brianna is not going to get a call on that.
25:12Sorry.
25:13Not with 0.2 left.
25:17Not even Brianna Stewart will get a call.
25:19No.
25:23There's DeMarco.
25:24She was shooting.
25:25Yeah, she was shooting.
25:26But you've got to think about time on the clock when you're going to call those fouls.
25:37Big possession here for Seattle.
25:39They're on the right side.
25:41Jade to the rim and scores.
25:44Eight-point game.
25:45Jade Melvin has had a solid basketball game.
25:4813 points on five of nine, six assists.
25:51And we mentioned Dom being involved.
25:53She was involved with the pick and roll.
25:54So what's going on here in the interior defense for the last three or four minutes?
25:58There's been way too many easy drives to the hole.
26:01I think it's a little lack of communication where the posts could be switching and they're not.
26:07Dom had the 1-2 and she was going in.
26:10Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Awa flashing.
26:12And instead of going up, she kicked through the corner.
26:15Turnover on Seattle.
26:16Hasn't had a lot of them.
26:17Only nine on the game.
26:19Seattle trails by 10.
26:2112 of 17.
26:23But right here, Seattle gets caught up on defense.
26:26Yeah, this is a post-to-post screen.
26:28And Dom just kind of gets caught behind Brianna Stewart, who does a pretty good job immediately rolling.
26:35That is the important part of a pick and roll, is immediately rolling.
26:39Don't wait.
26:39Get to the bucket.
26:40And Brianna Stewart has Dom behind her.
26:43So the Storm have to figure out a way to close this game out.
26:46If they're going to get closer in this game, you have to turn the Liberty away on their own end.
26:53And a good steal.
26:54There's Flaugé Johnson.
26:55We've been waiting for the Category 4.
26:57And she erupts to the hole.
26:59It's an eight-point game.
27:01Just reads that pass like a book.
27:03Jumps in front of it.
27:04The best spot, if you're a defender, to get a steal.
27:07Your head is seen the other way.
27:09Another potential turnover.
27:10And Seattle gets it.
27:16This is your best plus-minus-five on the floor for Seattle for the season.
27:21This was the starting five for a good chunk of the last month and a half.
27:27Flaugé loses his handle, but kicks it over.
27:30Jade's three on the way.
27:31No good.
27:32Offensive rebound, Heideman.
27:35Flaugé took a look.
27:38Sidestep.
27:39What a tough shot.
27:40Chris DiMarco thought she took an extra one, but we'll take it.
27:45It's a six-point game over Stewie's outstretched arm.
27:49Oh, Obama's had a phenomenal game.
27:5113 points.
27:54Look at the offensive boards for Seattle now.
27:5712-6.
27:59Sabrina, three.
28:01No.
28:01Dom the rebound.
28:04Can Seattle orchestrate a second big comeback from double digits in the same game?
28:11Jade in the hole.
28:13No call.
28:16Here's the push.
28:18Astier off her foot.
28:20Seattle basketball.
28:21So now the stops are coming after the timeout.
28:24Yes.
28:24Three turnovers by the Liberty.
28:26A lot of them by their own doing.
28:28But this one, all Flaugé Johnson's doing.
28:32So quick with the long arms.
28:36Easy for her.
28:38For Seattle to win, usually their guards have to score.
28:41And that is not happening tonight.
28:46Back iron for Awa.
28:48It's been all bigs for Seattle.
28:50Other than the 13th from Jade, she is the only guard that has done anything offensively.
28:56Flaugé's got four.
28:57Heidemann, a season low two.
29:00Her season low before this is five.
29:03So she needs to be back here in Seattle on the 14th.
29:08That will be a national ION telecast, our final national ION broadcast of the year.
29:15So after the timeout, Seattle comes out down by six.
29:20Not quite a clutch game yet.
29:21He's got to be within five to technically be a clutch game according to the WNBA stats.
29:32Big stop opportunity for Seattle.
29:34UNESCO against Flaugé.
29:36Great defense by the Rook.
29:38Got to come up with the rebound, though.
29:39Seattle can't do it.
29:42Now it's past Stewie.
29:44Two on the shot clock.
29:45Oh, my goodness.
29:47Brianna Stewart doing Brianna Stewart things right there.
29:50That was a tough shot.
29:52A little second chance, great opportunity after great defense by Flaugé Johnson coming out of the timeout.
29:59There's Dom again into the lane.
30:02She's got 29.
30:06Dom's world right now.
30:08We're just living in it.
30:11And a whistle inside.
30:14A good foul by Dom there.
30:16Or else it would have been an easy layup.
30:18But Dom along to 29 on 13 of 18.
30:22Yeah.
30:22And so physical all the way tonight.
30:24Great screen there by Jade Melvin to open up a little bit of a lane there.
30:28But Dom going to the rim without fear over and over again.
30:33This is her second highest scoring game of the season at 37 against Dallas.
30:40Nice move.
30:41I guess just get it to 30 and just let her do her thing when you're trying to protect the
30:45lead.
30:46Yeah, she had the entire paint and extended to work with all by herself.
30:50Awa Fahm no good.
30:51Rebound, John Quill.
30:56This is really the next generation against the current generation, though.
31:01Awa against Stewie inside.
31:03Flaugé against Sabrina on the perimeter.
31:05John Quill Jones, a dagger, can't get it to go.
31:07Oh, Jade went down, or she was in pretty good rebounding position there.
31:12Too many second chance opportunities.
31:16Eight offensive rebounds for New York.
31:18They have 10 points off those boards.
31:21And a stop there by Seattle.
31:23So they can get it back to a two-possession game here.
31:27Dom Malanga coming in her last three games.
31:3122 of 35.
31:32She's now 13 of 18.
31:34That is 35 of 53 in her last four games.
31:39That is insane.
31:41Add to it, Dom.
31:43Can't do it.
31:44Rebound by Brianna.
31:46Great move, though.
31:47It's just another shot that's in her arsenal.
31:53And you feel like she's played a ton.
31:55She's only played 27 minutes.
31:57I mean, she's still got gas in the tank.
32:03Kick out.
32:04Extra pass.
32:05That's how New York hurts Seattle in the first quarter right there.
32:08The kickouts, the extra passes, and the three-ball.
32:1111-point New York lead.
32:14Now the red light is on.
32:19Got to get buckets and stops, plural here.
32:23And the Storm defense really has done a good job of stopping the Liberty from what they want to do.
32:28And that's make threes.
32:29There's six of 28 from three-point land in this game.
32:34They've had 17 games where they've had double-digit made threes.
32:38So in that aspect, the Storm are doing a better job.
32:40But it's possessions like that where the Liberty are forcing long closeouts.
32:45And just when you think they're going to shoot, they make one more pass.
32:48And they're only six of 28 from three.
32:51I mean, it was all three balls early and then nothing after that for New York.
32:58Kick ball.
32:59Which is a good trend to begin again.
33:02Because, you know, Seattle, number one in the WNBA most of the year in three-point defense.
33:08But recently, over the last six games, they're aligned 43%.
33:12So they've dropped from number one to number two in the league in three-point defense.
33:16Might be back to number one after this one.
33:19Plaget trying to keep them alive.
33:20And she does.
33:22Eight-point game.
33:23Had to have that one.
33:25And now you need to stop.
33:33Spoon job steps on Awa.
33:35They're just keeping the ball in her hand.
33:37Why not?
33:38But she misses that one.
33:40Seattle on the push.
33:44Plaget attacking right into the lane.
33:47Finger roll won't go, but she gets her own rebound.
33:50Feeds it inside.
33:51Intended for Dom.
33:52And was poked away.
33:53You heard Dom screaming, too.
33:56Wide open underneath the bucket.
33:58Plaget just a second too late.
34:00But you had to try to get it in.
34:03Well, unfortunately, Plaget's back was to the play because she had to save the basketball.
34:07So she didn't see Dom.
34:08Still created an extra possession.
34:10She did.
34:10Oh, good post position right there.
34:12Melanga gets it to go.
34:14Six-point game.
34:16Against the stronger, more physical veteran in Jonquale Jones.
34:22Doesn't matter who's guarding Dom.
34:26Stewie has it.
34:27I kind of like this not fouling here.
34:28It's a two-possession game.
34:30Now, you can't foul with nine seconds on the shot clock, though.
34:35Unless that is the first inside two minutes.
34:39It's about our number four, Plaget Godwin.
34:41That is the second team's first.
34:43It is.
34:44So that's okay.
34:45But it does reset it to 14.
34:47But no big deal.
34:47Does not send them to the line.
34:51Now you just want to play D, I think.
34:53Straight up.
34:55Now they're going to decide to foul and extend the game.
35:03Could have taken it down to about, you would have got it with about 20 seconds left.
35:09Down two possessions if you got the stop.
35:11Now you're getting it back with 33 seconds left.
35:15Almost assuredly down three possessions.
35:17Yeah, just because of who you're fouling.
35:19I mean, this team also, you have to factor in 85%.
35:23I mean, this is the fourth highest free throw shooting percentage team in WNBA history.
35:29So it's a huge risk at that point.
35:32I mean, I kind of like the being down six with 20 to go.
35:36Atlanta's going to get the win tonight over Phoenix.
35:38Dallas up eight at Washington at the end of three.
35:45And maybe Sonia is complaining.
35:46I don't know if she wanted the foul there.
35:48If they were just trying to play aggressive defense.
35:50Sometimes coaches will tell the referees, look, I'm not trying to foul here.
35:53I just want to get the turnover.
35:54My team's going to be playing aggressively.
35:56But we're not actively trying to get the foul.
36:00It didn't look like a blatant, obvious foul.
36:04It looked like a pressure.
36:05Yes.
36:06Getting up and pressuring.
36:07Doubling.
36:10In those situations, the officials have got to be aware of that too.
36:13Right?
36:13The officials have got to know, okay, she's really not trying to foul here.
36:16So am I going to be really nitpicky on the call?
36:18And you will see coaches go over to referees and let them know.
36:21Just give them a heads up.
36:23So it's just not in their mind.
36:24Like, oh, coach is clearly trying to foul here.
36:27So down eight, three possessions.
36:31I mean, it's just, let's take a look here.
36:32Let's.
36:36I mean, yeah, that wasn't it.
36:37Certainly going for the ball.
36:38And Flaugé, look at her hands.
36:39I don't think necessarily she wanted a foul there.
36:43I think they were trying to go for the turnover.
36:45I think you're right.
36:46And I honestly didn't see much there at all.
36:50A little body, but what you'd expect for that time of game.
36:54So now, yeah, down eight points.
36:59Not a whole lot of time.
37:01I mean, do you even, if you get a quick two, or is it too late to even think about
37:05it?
37:05I almost think it might be too late at this point, because that's a lot to overcome.
37:10And then New York, obviously, is such a good free-throw shooting team.
37:14That's where I think you have to go for three, because it's almost a guaranteed two points.
37:19Right.
37:19You just almost erase what you did anyway.
37:23So hide them into inbound.
37:26Leticia still with just the two points.
37:28And again, does have six assists.
37:32Nice little hand.
37:33Good defense.
37:35By New York.
37:37You don't have too much time to dribble around.
37:41Walsh in.
37:42Attacks.
37:42Gifts in the lane and scores.
37:44It took them nine seconds, but they got the deuce.
37:48Don't want to foul for Green.
37:51And the timeout taken by Chris DiMarco.
37:53So good trap there in the full court by Seattle.
37:56Six-point game, 19.8 left.
38:00And now, you would prefer, I mean, there's really nobody great.
38:05When you're talking about the fourth-best free-throw shooting team in the history of the game, there's really nobody
38:10great to foul.
38:12So you're kind of just picking your poison.
38:15But you're obviously not going to put a defender on the inbounder.
38:18You're going to try to double UNESCO because that's who they want to go to, or at least use that
38:22extra defender to make it harder for them to inbound.
38:25New York, no question about it.
38:26So the Liberty, 19 seconds away from, speaking of good glasses, my goodness.
38:35That's a great hat, Greg.
38:37I don't know what's better.
38:37There's Ellie.
38:38Getting after it.
38:40Always getting after it.
38:43Leticia Heidemann had some fun with her all-star break.
38:49Let's see if we can get a quick steal here.
38:52And it gets rid of it.
38:54Inside, and they will foul Pauline Astier.
39:05Fouls on Fahm.
39:07So Astier steps to the free-throw line.
39:1188% free-throw shooter.
39:14And knocks that one down no problem.
39:17What a weapon that is to be a great free-throw shooting team.
39:20I mean, you just don't blow four, five, six-point leads in the last minute when you're shooting that.
39:25And you make the defense during the regular part of the game think about, think twice about fouling you.
39:31It's not just an easy, you know, in this scenario.
39:33We'll make sure she doesn't get two.
39:35So foul her.
39:36Well, she's probably going to get two anyways.
39:37Whoever goes to the free-throw line.
39:39It's just turnovers and free-throws.
39:40If you eliminate those two, you eliminate the turnovers and make your free-throws,
39:44your chances of blowing a double-digit, or excuse me, a two-possession or more lead in the last minute
39:49is almost zero.
39:51Yeah.
39:51But so many teams don't do that.
39:54Yeah.
39:55It's pressure.
39:55How do you handle pressure?
39:57Plaget drives in, gets the sure two.
40:02Back to a two-possession game.
40:04Astier gives it up to Stewie.
40:08And they will call it good in the two-possession game.
40:13But New York did not get to 94 points, which means their streak does not continue,
40:18which would have been a WNBA record seven games in a row to 94 or more.
40:24But overall, you've got to kind of like what you saw from Seattle.
40:29But again, the 23-8 start by New York.
40:33You're at No-Possession.
40:33the ground. That's actually too close toiviark with
40:34us. That's something we built in for 10 to
