[nwhoopfan]

Storm was up as much as 19, lead is down to 10.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aces hitting 3's again, now 9-15. This is a team that averages 4--FOUR--made 3's per game. Angel alone is 5-5.


edit--Angel is 0-7 inside the arc

 

[nwhoopfan]

McCoughtry and Wilson have 16 and 15...but Loyd and Stewie have 23 and 20.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark is just totally off today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark has missed about 8 more shots since my last post. They can't hit a shot to save their life the last several minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lead about to be cut to 1. What the hell are the Storm doing?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now Aces are gonna take the lead on FTs. This is pathetic.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Storm up 69-67 thru Q3. Aces outscored them 27-12 in the quarter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie got this. A personal 8-0 run to start Q4.

Stewie going wild in 4th Q. MVP showing up

 

[ShmiCO]

I'm pretty happy with this matchup. It's going to be a fun finals series.

 

[Kaizen]

wow Stewie 30 pts 11 rebs ... Sue 13 asts new record

 

[nwhoopfan]

Everybody see that Stewie was wearing a UW Huskies t shirt in that clip of her rehabbing?

 

[Kaizen]

Another 3, 33 pts

 

[eebmg]

wow Stewie 30 pts 11 rebs ... Sue 13 asts new record

Thst was so last minute

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie absolutely dominating Q4. She's up to 37 and 14 boards. 15 assists for Bird. Loyd has 28, gotta get her to 30 too. Storm have stretched the lead back to 15.

edit--oops, shortchanged Birdy by 1 assist; that's a career high for her

 

[MilfordHusky]

It's Stewie Time!

 

[oldude]

Stewie needs one more hoop to set the all-time WNBA playoff game scoring record. Sue has already set the assist record.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie and Loyd have combined for 65 on 26-41 from the floor. That works.

 

[Kaizen]

Let Stewi to score 2 more pts to break the record

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie isn't gonna get the record, benches have been cleared. She is the first ever w/ at least 35 points and 15 rebounds in a finals game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

93-80 final

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue had 16 assists. That's a playoff record for any round and a personal record for any game. Pencil her in for Tokyo!! In ink!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark finished 2-13. I'm not sure if she's taken that many shots in a game before. The poor shooting certainly was uncharacteristic. Howard had a nice run in Q2 but sat out a lot of this game, only finished w/ 6 points in 21 minutes. Only had 2 fouls...I didn't hear anything about her getting hurt, not sure what's up w/ the low minutes. Anyway Seattle has to feel pretty good winning by double digits w/ that pair not doing much, although they can't count on 60+ from Stewie and Loyd every game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

On the other hand 10-21 from 3 is not normal for Las Vegas, but they only shot 35% overall. Wilson really struggled hitting 6-20. McCoughtry had 20, McBride, Robinson and Young were all in double figures. A lot of the things that went wrong against the Sun were better tonight, and they still lost handily.
