Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4060905, member: 1131"] The single-elimination playoff game between Seattle and Phoenix just ended, with Phoenix getting a narrow victory. It may have been Sue Bird's last pro game. But for those of us on this forum, the greater interest may be in the key roles played by Husky alumni for both teams: [LIST] [*]For Phoenix, Diana had 14 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds in 33 minutes, even though this is the first game she has played in a while because of her injury. She didn't shoot very efficiently, but hit some big 3's late in the game. [*]Kia Nurse played 28 minutes, had 12 points and 4 rebounds. [B]Both DT and Kia were on the floor during the overtime period and late in regulation.[/B] [*]For Seattle, Sue played 37 minutes, scored 16 points including 4 of 8 from 3-point range, and had 5 assists and just 2 turnovers. [*]Katie Lou played an amazing 35 minutes (she usually plays about 15 minutes even though she starts), and scored 18 points including 4-for-6 from 3-point range. Two of those were clutch shots late in the game. She also had 5 rebounds. She defended Diana for most of the game. [B]Both Sue and KLS were in the game during crunch time (OT and final minutes of regulation time).[/B] [/LIST] We won't dwell on the fact that neither Bria Hartley nor Megan Walker got on the floor for Phoenix. Bria was mentioned -- they said that because of her injury, she needs about 3 minutes of playing time to warm up, and there was no opportunity to do that in this game. I am now watching the other single-elimination game between Minnesota and Chicago. Napheesa got into early foul trouble, but Crystal is contributing good minutes for Minnesota. Stef and Azura have both had significant playing time for Chicago. It is now halftime, and the Sky have a slight lead. On Tuesday night, the Sun will play Phoenix if Minnesota wins, or Chicago if they win the current game. [/QUOTE]
