Seattle has been collapsing in the 4th quarter the whole series. Looks like they finally solved that issue. Kinda surprising they're able to overcome lack of production from 3 starters.
Actually, scratch that. Clark is over her season average w/ 11 points and has 13 big rebounds.

Anyone who didn’t get into that game must not like basketball, period.

Really. I don't think I've ever seen her that pissed when her mask got grabbed.

Sue had 8 in the 1st Q. Then none in the 2nd or 3rd. Then she put her cape on. Four treys and a midrange jumper for 14 points in the last 6 minutes or so. She matched and out-dueled the G.O.A.T.
The oldest player in the league may be the most clutch. Bird at the Buzzer is alive and well.

Wow..incredible game and series. Epic finishes and one of the most entertaining series ever.
Have to feel for Phoenix, they worked their butts off with a short roster all 5 games. Just came up short in the end. Was very impressed with great efforts by their big 3 for most of the series.
Bird just won that 4th quarter. Have never seen her lose her cool like that and then she just went into a different gear. Didn’t crack a smile until the game was over. Pretty epic performance, she just took over.
That said, DT and Bird both should’ve been T’d up. DT at the end was caught on TV saying “FU” to the male ref. She did not get any star treatment tonight, so understandable why she’d be so upset.
Bird absolutely lost her cool and it appears nothing significant happened. She definitely should’ve been t’d up...she tripped January and flipped out at the refs. Can’t blame Diana for being mad that she wasnt T’d up. Did anyone see anything malicious from that loose ball?
Mystics vs Storm should be a good series even if Storm are the obvious favorite. EDD vs Stewie will be a great matchup, as will Howard/Pringle. I think Washington has to steal game one or two to have a shot.
The 13-1 record by DT is remarkable. Amazed that Phoenix got so close to winning after going down 0-2. Next year they add in a high pick too. They should be one of the top 2-3 teams in the league with their Big 3.

The Best moment in the game was Diana Taurasi complaining to the officials that her good friend and Kim Perrot Award winner Sue Bird should have been T'd up.
Good no call in that situation. Emotions running high, it's Game 5. I give Maj Forsberg credit and I generally think she's terrible.

Two fantastic points in the post game interviews of Sue Bird
1) I really wanted to nurture (love that word) Breanna Stewart
2) Breanna Stewart told me that I need to get more of my legs into the 3 pt shot after the 3Q.
So really, do the coaches on Seattle do anything?
