[RadyLady]

Erin Phillips, heavily defended loses the ball out of bounds, EDD gets fouled

Shoots and makes 2, Sky leads by 2, 54 seconds to go in the quarter

 

[Zorro]

The Chicago fans are now with hope.

I let you have that one.

I'm biased. Dupree "deserves" it, but that's not what assembling the best team is about. Objectively , Stewie kicks Dupree's ass one-on-one.

 

[RadyLady]

Chicago with a 4 point lead with Quigley getting to the basket courtesy of a screen by Fowles.

Time out Phoenix.

Well I should think so

 

[RadyLady]

The Chicago fans are now with hope.

Was just going to comment that the fans are starting to get interested.

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go

Dupree makes a deuce to bring the score closer, 63 - 61 SKY

That's right...I said Sky

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go

Missed the first bucket because we are not allowed to see the very beginning of the quarters because folks have to "chat"

 

[RadyLady]

Bonner just got whacked in the face with a basketball courtesy of a bad choice by Breeland. That could not be intentional.......

 

[RadyLady]

She stays in, taylor makes the techie throw, Bonner shoots and makes both to tie the game.

 

[RadyLady]

Great passing sequence to Dee for threeeeeee
Phoenix on a 9 - 2 run, 70 - 67 with Phoenix in the lead.

Dupree offensively looks better than anybody right now...I don't think she can contribute as much defensively as Breanna can...hard to believe USA basketball will keep Breanna home...somebody else may be out of luck...

 

[RadyLady]

The Chicago fans are now with hope.

O wait - I get it....

Chicago Hope

 

[RadyLady]

Out of the time out, Phoenix forces the shot clock violation.

Breeland is a guard?

 

[RadyLady]

Aaaaaaaaaaand....Chicago forces a shot clock violation on the OTHER end.

Phoenix looks out of sorts....

 

[RadyLady]

Taurasi shoos everyone out of the way and makes a great leaner. Phoenix up by 5

 

[RadyLady]

On the other end.....Bonner whacks it out of bounds, Chicago with 2 to shoot, and nothing. Phoenix ball

 

[RadyLady]

WOW - QUigley ties up Taylor on the way to the hoop. Jump ball....Chicago comes up with it

 

[RadyLady]

Taylor fouls Quigley, a 88% shooter outside the arc.
Checking Quigley's placement....will shoot 3

Makes all three

72 - 70


5:51 to go

 

[RadyLady]

Was just about to say Phoenix looks tired, then Dee drains a 3
On the other end, EDD gets an an' 1, foul on Depree.

Misses the shot, 75 - 72 Phoenix

 

[RadyLady]

Dupree gets Fowles to commit her third foul, and Phoenix is in the bonus now

Shoots and makes 2
Score is 77 - 72
4:15 to go

 

[RadyLady]

Delle Donne tried to kill a fly on the backboard.....

3:06

 

[RadyLady]

Young makes it a one point game

Time out Phoenix

[OneTrickPony]

Without BG this is a pretty good matchup...

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go

Diana shoots and makes a two and is fouled.

 

[RadyLady]

Makes the free throw, 80 - 76 2:27 to go

[RadyLady]

Collusion under Phoenix's basket chasing a rebound, EDD on the floor, Chicago time out

 

[RadyLady]

Without BG this is a pretty good matchup...

It's a much closer game, I will give you that. It is not a particularly pretty game to watch.
