Prince hits a circus shot against Griner.

Again, and I can't say this enough...HOW did Griner only win one NC at Baylor?? She might be the most dominant player ever. She completely changes the game.

One for the #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's back porch since noon today and Carnac the Magnificent
 
GREAT lead pass by Taurasi. She's so fun to watch.
 
This is beginning to resemble some of the more recent UCONN/ND Final Four games.
 
Fowles scores over Griner, her first points of the night (!!!). 69-48 PHX, they look so dominant. The Minnesota series really was the Finals.

Griner looked like she was going up for a dunk but Fowles stripped her. Offensive foul on Taurasi, that one was legit.

I didn't think so. Sloot was moving, DT didn't lower her shoulder - just braced for the contact but didn't initiate it (I'll admit she didn't exactly back away from it either, but she clearly felt she had the right-of-way)
 
Fowles finally scores, and someone with another 2, lead cut to 19
 
taurasi stop and pop for her first points in the third quarter.
 
Taurasi with 18. She'll get MVP of the Finals if she keeps this up and they sweep.

Score is 74 - 50 with Quigley shooting 2, seconds left in the half
 
I really thought Chicago would make a game of this after the first half.
 
Quigley makes both...

End of the 3rd Quarter, 74 - 51 Phoenix
Diana has 18
BG has 15

I think, as much as Elena wanted to feel better, and knowing how back injuries usually work, there was only so much that could be done before things started acting up again. The Sky are a good team, but not a great team. I am surprised sometimes seeing them just stand around, especially on defense. It's as if they have forgotten who was guarding who on the switch.
 
True. And she definitely can't do it by herself, even if she were healthy.

EDD swing and a miss, Mistie corrals the rebound...Bonner misses the bunny, gets the put back...
 
Griner gets the roll on a neat move away from the basket.
Tam Young scores on the other end.

8 minutes to go 78 - 55 Phoenix
 
Who shot that??!? Buzzer beater for 3!!! and another 3!!!

84 - 55
 
Griner outwits Fowles for another 2!!!

Largest lead for the tourney...86 - 57
 
.-.
Mercury running it up while DT on the bench with 4 fouls. 86-60
 
EDD with 17. She is running like her back still hurts. Poor thing, she's playing really tough.
 
Is Griner sitting? Fowles scores again in the paint, and someone shoots an air ball for Phoenix.....who is on the floor?

EDD scores on the other end....

Bonner losses the ball..
Elena scores 3! She has 22 points thus far

Time out!
 
We have 4:50 to go, score is
Phoenix 86
Chicago 65
