Mercury vs Sky #2 Game thread

[sarals24]

Chicago looks like a totally different team. Defensive three second technical on CHI, Taylor misses the free throw.

 

[RadyLady]

Quigley hits a jumper over Griner! 29-28 CHI.

Quigley is a tough kid

 

[sarals24]

Griner hits some free throws...31-29 PHX

 

[RadyLady]

time?

 

[sarals24]

Prince misses a three, PHX turns it over, Griner misses a one handed layup attempt off a lob. 4:22 left.

 

[sarals24]

EDD hits a tough fadeaway, she has 12. Tied at 31, then Taurasi hits a three, she has 10. 34-31 PHX

 

[sarals24]

Griner stuffs Vandersloot's reverse layup, Taurasi goes down and hits a tough layup and gets fouled. EDD with three fouls and has to sit.

 

[Zorro]

EDD now with 3 fouls, DT taking over. 3731

 

[sarals24]

9-2 PHX run over the last two minutes. Vandersloot misses a three. 37-31 PHX, timeout Chicago.

 

[Zorro]

DT with 13. 2 to play in the half.

 

[RadyLady]

You guys are awesome thanks so much!

 

[Orangutan]

Tough call on EDD. Looked like she was trying to get out of the way. Contact appeared minimal.

Is that four fouls on her now or was that her third?

 

[rvwsleep]

I thought that was a flagrant foul. Griner taking a beating. 51-36 Phoenix at the half.

 

[Zorro]

16 for dt, 12 for EDD 10 and 3 blks for BG. Buckets and Quigley with 7 each.

3 fouls on EDD

It was 3, I was just slow in posting...

Only the Sky could have an inbounds with 5 seconds left and botch it so bad that it ends in an opposition and-1.

 

[Zorro]

The cream is coming to the top.

Now you let u s know when you get home so we don't worry, y'hear!

 

[Zorro]

DT 6/9, 3/4. 1/1.

 

[bschwartz]

Phoenix went on their big run when Chicago forgot the concept of rebounding. With Griner in there, they were taking almost all outside shots either at the elbow or from 3. When those shots missed, nobody from Chicago was even close to the basket. I don't understand that.

 

[RadyLady]

OK, here we go, and Prince draws a foul on Griner, her 3rd 20 seconds into the quarter.

 

[RadyLady]

Dupree answers with 2, Prince with a 3 on the other end


40 - 53 Phoenix

 

[RadyLady]

Griner over Fowles for 2!!

She affects the shot on the other end. then Bonner to Dupree for 2

 

[RadyLady]

Just from the few minutes I have been watching, it appears that Prince has taken a more of a leadership role.

Then the Sky stand still as Taylor swoops in and makes a layup. I mean, they were NOT MOVING

Chapman calls time

 

[Zorro]

Dupree and Penny for 2 each; 59-40

 

[Zorro]

Looks like the Sky is going to fall.

 

[sarals24]

EDD hits a long jump shot. Chicago offense was horrible with her out. Bonner hits a three...61-44 PHX.

 

[sarals24]

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

 

[sarals24]

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.
