Tina is just in a zone right now. 20/10 at the half!

A comfortable win that was not in peril during the 2nd half, but not an overly impressive win considering no AD, Billings, nor Coffey. Atlanta struggled shooting tremendously (partially due to the Storm's D), but amassed 17 offensive rebounds. Seattle really benefitted from getting to the line (and converting) a lot. Will be interesting to see if Jewell can pick up her offensive game a bit to supplement Stewie and Tina because there's not much other hope

Bria Hartley just blew out her knee. in the MIN game. So sad. She just got with the Sun and was starting so well. The replay showed her left knee come down and bend sideways. No doubt that it's serious.

I don't think that's their goal by any means. Tina had the hot hand today and they went with it. Nothing wrong with that. Having said that Stewie and Tina certainly are a good 1-2 punch. Tina performing way better than she did in Phoenix.

Interesting stat, re: UConn alum
Fewest Turnovers per game in WNBA this season. (Min 20 games played) per Her Hoops Stats.
1) Azura Stevens 0.7 per game
2) S. Cunningham 1.0 per game
3) Lou Samuelson 1.0 per game
4) C. Dangerfield 1.0 per game
10) B. Stewart 1.2 per game
15) G. Williams 1.3 per game
Anyone notice a trend?

OTOH, Charles (#1 WNBA pick) had Stewart (#1), Bird (#1), and Lloyd (#1) alongside her. Rhyne Howard had...Naz Hillmon...

OTOH, Howard entered today's game taking about 14 shots per game. Not sure what it was about today's game that caused her to more than double her average shot attempts. She made 9 shots of her 30 shots, including 3 in the final 3+ minutes when the game was out of reach. Perhaps the Storm were more intent on shutting down Hayes.
BTW, 30 is the most FGAs by a WNBA player so far this season.

Hillmon's doing her part to contribute. Was a point short of a double double last night and with 9 points and 14 rebounds. Thought she had some good moments defending Stewart.

I guess since Seattle played so much zone, she is their designated zone buster ? Especially since Hayes, McDonald, Wallace were virtual no shows from 3.

In addition to her crash with Stewie yesterday, Hayes collided with Lexie Brown last game, in which Hayes appeared to take the worst of it and Lexie didn't play in the next game for the Sparks. This might have impacted her shot attempts. Also, AD (who has been hoisting a lot of shots), Billings, & Coffey didn't play.
Those are possible reasons for the 30 FGA, but nonetheless, Howard is still shooting 36.6% for the year and somehow made the all-star game over C Gray, A Gray, & K Mitchell.

If true, Sparks will need to add some bodies. They have players who are playing a lot of minutes. I don't want to see any exhaustion type injuries. The past few games they have played 7 players most of the games.

Liz is such a red flag for any team in the league. If I were a GM I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole.

I think this is it for Cambage when it comes to playing in the W. She always mentioned how much LA was where she was meant to be and she didn't get the fairytale ending. Her basketball shape has been questionable and she really needs some help mentally as well. It's a real shame because she literally could have changed the league if she took her craft seriously. Hopefully she can get the help she needs and truly apologize and make amends to the people she hurt over the years.

I'd say Cambage has almost burned all her bridges. She's very talented but a handful to say the least.
Whatever is going on with her, I hope it gets solved.

Unhappy players = bad results. I hope players quitting midseason doesn't become the norm. I think the Sparks are better off without Liz and starts winning more games, similar to how Phoenix has been winning more games without Charles.
PHX and her seem like a perfect fit .... show all the way around
