This one changed in a hurry. Vegas is unraveling. Plum's 3 point shot has completely deserted her this series.
 
Some very questionable defense to end this game and botched free throw shooting

Unbelievable game. 92-92 OT but Storm defense in particular playing stupid. Like they have no tape on the Aces.
 
3 buckets in the last 3 seconds? This game is nothing if not exciting. What a pleasure to watch after that horrid Sky-Sun eye sore.
 
If Seattle blows this one, it’s the type of loss you likely don’t come back from.
 
Seattle may take game 4 but I don’t think they can squeak out another in Vegas

Wow OT got out of hand in a hurry.

I've been critical of her, but Wilson has absolutely played like an MVP 2 games in a row. Gray continues to play out of her mind. Huge bounce back game for Stokes. Williams was big off the bench, probably her best game in the playoffs so far. Young didn't score a lot, but the biggest bucket of the game to force OT. Miserable game shooting for Plum, but she did have 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

FT shooting just killed Seattle. 70% looks fine, but it's when they missed them that really hurt them. Stewie and Charles were a combined 5-10, they just can't have that.
 
1). Can the A'ja Wilson disappears in the play-offs chatter stop now? Didn't think that was fair considering the team is Seattle.

2). The comments made before the buzzer sounded caught my ear. I wasn't aware that Hammon had publicly said their playing style had been selfish at some points of the season. It's scary to think what may be possible if they had been more cohesive during the season.

Well, that might be me, but I've given her props for 2 monster games in a row. She was very critical of herself following the '21 playoffs, and now she's stepping up.
 
Outstanding level of play on both sides in the LV/SEA game. Wilson was a beast, but one of the three officials had to call the travel near the end of regulation. Even a blind man can see she traveled, not once, but twice on that move! Why?????
 
I usually do not watch the WNBA but I have been watching the playoffs. in particular, the Aces/STORM series. These games have been exciting, the Stewie/Aja match up reminds me of Russell/Wilt games of yesteryears, both Aja and Stewie giving all they have to win. Not sure who I want to win just want the games to be exciting.
 
Shame Sue's ultra clutch 3pt basket with 2+ seconds left to take a 2pt lead in regulation was extinguished. :(

I watched the last half of the 3rd Q, 4th Q and OT yesterday. Until the end of regulation it was as good a game as I’ve seen recently with both teams going back and forth. There are clutch plays and big shots all around.

Aja traveled but it was missed. The storm just ran out of gas in OT. Overall the stars played great. Gray is playing the best ball of her career right now.

I think I heard during the broadcast that Bird, Stewie and Loyd played the entire 2nd half, never got subbed out. With that in mind, probably not that surprising they didn't have much left for an extra session.

I don't think the Aces starters are getting much rest either. They have been getting a lot of playing time throughout the entire season. Maybe they are used to it compared to Seattle's starters.

That's a good point. Hamby was back but barely played. Basically Williams was the only reserve for the Aces. Okay, well never mind that.

Okay, I looked at the minutes in the box score. A'ja played all 45. Stewie and Bird 43, Loyd 41, Gray and Plum 39, Young 38, Stokes 32. Riquna played 27. Charles 29 and Gabby 24. Talbot 21 and Magbegor 18. Seattle got 45 minutes combined from their bench, Vegas 31.
