Some final thoughts:

Nurse is extremely polished.  She is a total irritant on defense.  She forced several rushed late-clock shots by denying Chicago guards the ball and blowing up plays.  She also is very skilled in the art of drawing fouls.  When she gets fouled she makes darn sure that the refs know.  And of course her deep shot is lethal.  She just does a lot of subtle good things on both ends.

Kia Stokes was in street clothes and had a boot on her left foot.

Diamond looks really good when she plays within herself.  But she tries these highlight-reel moves and passes and none of them came off today.  She needs Joe Maddon's mantra "Do Simple Better."

Gabby hit a couple of long 2s today.  As long as she can hit that shot consistently she will be fine.  I liked her all-around game.

It looks like we finally found out what Amber Stocks thinks her best lineup is:  Faulkner-Quigley-Copper-Parker-Dolson was the crunch time 5.  Copper and/or Parker can certainly be displaced by Gabby and/or Diamond but that was the group she rolled with today and I think it was the right call.  Obviously Sloot will slot in there when she is back.  I think Stocks has Faulkner coming off the bench because she wants to build her chemistry with the second unit.  She's clearly better than Hopkins.
