01:00Carlton in transition, sees Charlie Fletcher-Walker protecting the pain, says, uh-uh, you know, I can do it from
01:06outside.
01:06It's a great stop-and-pop execution. No hesitation in transition.
01:12Well, thought that was a three, but they give her two. Her toe was on the line.
01:17It was whistle the three here inside the arena on the scoreboard.
01:24So 44-53, Brittany Greiner knocking in the first free throw.
01:30The 13-year veteran out of Baylor where she won a national championship.
01:37Signed as a free agent with Connecticut in the offseason.
01:42So the 10-time All-Star trying to be that veteran presence inside.
01:48Inksler faked the three.
01:50Beautiful dish.
01:51Another gorgeous find by Emily Inksler to Gustafson.
01:55It's a great job on the ball movement.
01:58Great read from Inksler to Gustafson.
02:00Oh, Inksler had a behind-the-back dime in the first half.
02:05Now she gets the deflection.
02:07Elsona Dota still has it and then looking for the tip away.
02:11And Inksler says, I got all ball is begging.
02:17Begging for the challenge.
02:19Watch this kick out to Emily Inksler off the rip and drive.
02:22Draws the help from Brittany Greiner.
02:24Easy dump down there to Meg Gustafson.
02:27It's just such a great look.
02:29I mean, Emily Inksler just putting all facets of her game on display.
02:34Well, and she came.
02:36She was adamant that she got all ball on the deflection that was whistled a foul.
02:40She ran over to the bench, twirling her finger, and Alex Sarama agreed.
02:46And the video evidence, we'll see if that backs it up.
02:51It looked like it was a lot of ball from my angle over here at the scorer's table.
02:56So a challenge and a timeout by Portland.
02:59We'll see what the call is coming up.
03:03Beference.
03:05Because
03:09If you have marginal contact on the guide or shooting hand, it is not a foul in the rulebook.
03:18Right now, they're trying to get an overhead look because this angle is just so hard to tell.
03:23But that's exactly what they're looking for.
03:28Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
04:03They also reviewed during the break the two or three for Bridget Carlton and it was a two by the
04:12slightest of margins. You can stream Portland Fire games exclusively on Portland Fire Plus. Visit live.theportlandfighter.com to subscribe
04:21today.
04:22And the call will stand not enough evidence to overturn that one and so Portland loses the timeout and loses
04:29the challenge for the rest of this game.
04:31And Alex Sarama and the coaching staff have had a lot of success. And that was one unfortunately that there
04:40wasn't enough video evidence.
04:41But that was, yeah, they were looking for that top angle, didn't have it there. So not enough to turn
04:46it over.
04:49So Nelson Adota heads to the foul line. And she remains perfect. She's four for four. She's got a dozen
04:57points. Second leading score for Connecticut today. Edwards has 15.
05:0215. Bridget Carlton backing down Ledger Walker. Fade away jumper. Won't drop.
05:18Ledger Walker has been in double figures four of the last five games for the Connecticut Sun. The rookie who
05:25won the national championship with UCLA really coming on.
05:27There's the vet Griner and she will draw contact to head to the free throw line.
05:38So that will be the third personal on Emily Inksler. So back-to-back fouls whistled against the starting forward
05:46for the Portland Fire.
05:47She's the first player with more than two personals for Portland.
05:56It's really been tough because on one end you can't let Brady Griner get easy position, but easier said than
06:02done with the strength that she poses and being 6'9".
06:05But also the guard play on the perimeter. Whoever is guarding that passer has got to have a hand in
06:11her face, make that pass into the post difficult.
06:16And Griner able to stripe a pair. Shooting 66% from the foul line this season.
06:26So the lead pushed out to 11.
06:29Inksler gets it stripped, but she gets it right back, trying to score inside. It won't go.
06:34And then taken away, Charlize Ledger Walker with the steal.
06:40And just tosses it to Griner, but her shot too strong.
06:44Offensive rebound kicked around and a whistle.
06:51Against Edwards.
06:56It's the first personal against Aaliyah Edwards.
06:59We'll give it back to the Portland Fire and a much-needed stop as they are down by 11 here
07:04in the third.
07:07Well, going back to, we talked to Coach at the half, she talked about the fire, having to slow things
07:13down offensively to limit those turnovers.
07:15And the fire, that's exactly what they're going to have to do.
07:23Carlton gets into the lane, gets it stripped, whistle blows.
07:27Is it a jump ball or a foul?
07:31Oh, I've got no signal from any of the officials.
07:34It's just going to be out of bounds, I guess.
07:37I thought, if anything, it'd be a jump ball.
07:40Ledger Walker takes it, but is out of bounds is the call.
07:44So Portland had it on the baseline.
07:47All right, Connecticut with the stop and defensive rebound.
07:58It was Edwards who's playing one of her best games of the season.
08:06Edwards, 15 points, seven boards and a couple of assists.
08:11Jumper goes.
08:13The three ball is good.
08:16Frida Booner is coming alive for long range.
08:20She was three for four against Atlanta and has hit two here today.
08:25Look at this pass.
08:26First of all, great cut from Griner, but the pass and recognition from Olivia Edwards into the post.
08:32And then Carla Leach is maneuvering the defense, drawing them in.
08:35And great hit from the corner from Frida Booner.
08:38She can knock down that outside shot and has really been doing a great job finding her footing from outside.
08:43So Booner hit the triple, looking for the home run, and she gets it.
08:47The four-point play, a big one for the fire as they closed within nine.
08:56Now it's got to continue to be stops on the offensive end, taking away that pain.
09:00Brittany Griner has been catching a lot of heat on the inside specifically.
09:10McCollin' inside, just throwing it way off the top.
09:14Beautiful pass.
09:16Only Griner can get to that one.
09:19It's where it's going every time for Connecticut.
09:24Carla Leach gets drilled in the face.
09:27The whistle blows.
09:34So, the 22-year-old Frenchie, Laila Lacan, hitting a foul against Carla Leach.
09:44Another 22-year-old Frenchie.
09:48Carla Leach will get a breather here with 5.38 to go in the third.
09:54Thea O'Block, a 35-year-old rookie.
09:59The oldest rookie in the history of the W.
10:01A ball in her hands.
10:02Almost loses it.
10:04And then it is taken away.
10:06Griner on the deck.
10:08What a hustle play for the veteran.
10:14Into the corner, Diamond Miller all kinds of time, but she misses everything.
10:19Edwards on the weak side, snags the miss.
10:22And now Edwards gets the hustle play and then gets the bucket.
10:28That's good karma for Aaliyah Edwards, the third-year forward out of UConn.
10:33Excellent hustle off the glass and then just getting to her spot, that short jumper in the corner.
10:39Keep that!
10:41Keep that!
10:43Keep that!
10:43O'Block trying to hit Barker, but she had missed or had moved, and it's a turnover.
10:54So, the miscommunication by Portland will give it back to the Sun.
11:02When the whistle blows, our officiating crew, Angel Kent, Sarah Williams, and Ken Jones.
11:11As Alex Sarama has a chat with the assistant coach and assistant GM, Brittany Donaldson.
11:19Trying to figure out what adjustments need to be made.
11:22I mean, offensively, it's just a matter of slowing down.
11:25Defensively, BG out of the lineup, but still guarding the post inside.
11:29Nelson Adota had a great first quarter.
11:31We've seen what Olivia Edwards has been doing.
11:33Excuse me, Aaliyah Edwards.
11:37Skipped all the way over the top.
11:39Angeloma losing Barker.
11:41Now, Lacan, a high arcing three.
11:44Good closeout from Booner, and then she collects the miss.
11:47And then fouled.
11:49Taya O'Block was trying to start the transition and foul against Angeloma.
11:56So, Portland will have to work it in the quarter cork to try to get a bucket here.
12:02Down by 13.
12:08Portland coming off a fantastic performance in Atlanta against one of the best defensive teams.
12:16Very athletic Atlanta Dream Team.
12:18They put 102 points on the board.
12:21It has been more challenging here today to find buckets against the Sun.
12:25So much length everywhere on the floor.
12:27The hands, the perimeter pressure.
12:29Oh, nearly a takeaway.
12:31Miller had it in her hands.
12:33But Portland able to get it right back.
12:35But look how difficult this is.
12:38Pressured, yes, at the midway.
12:40The midcourt spot.
12:42Yeah, Connecticut has brought a ton of energy defensively today.
12:45They are flying around, and they are extending all the way.
12:48And I'm sorry, you can't wait for the referee to make a certain call.
12:51It's not always going to go, wait.
12:52They push, you push back.
12:53You've got to be aggressive.
12:55Players got to come, meet the pass.
13:25Set some ball screens.
13:26They're out there on the floor.
13:28That's the biggest threat.
13:29Going over those screens and taking away those options and applying just an intense amount of pressure.
13:35And Gloma, really good-looking rookie.
13:37She's just 20 years old.
13:39Another one of those Frenchies that has been impressive.
13:42Ball in her hands right now.
13:44Really strong, too.
13:45You look at her body.
13:46She's got a lot of strength and muscle there at her size.
13:53And she gets called for steps.
14:00Connecticut was scorching hot to start this game.
14:05Corlin was allowing some of the long jumpers.
14:08Connecticut just shoots just 27% from long range on the season.
14:13They are not a good three-point shooting team, but they were hot from long range and from the jumpers.
14:19Carly Samuelson knocking in the three, and she gives her fist a big pump.
14:24That three ball is dangerous.
14:26The fire quite literally catch fire from outside and gets stops on this end of the floor.
14:32Come back in this one.
14:34But they cannot keep Connecticut from getting to the foul line.
14:41Six made threes by Carly and the Portland Fire, just two for Connecticut.
14:47Just deep.
14:48Deep.
14:49That's a tough contested shot from outside.
14:51Diamond Miller heels were behind the three-point line, and Carly knew exactly what to do, and that's put it
14:56up.
14:56That's what the Fire are going to have to continue to do.
15:00Connecticut hit the two early threes.
15:02They have yet to hit one since.
15:04They are two for ten from long range.
15:08They have been doing work inside the lane, though.
15:11Thirty-six-point paints, or paint points, excuse me, to just 20 for the fire.
15:17They've gotten to the free-throw line when things have been at a rhythm.
15:23And it's the 11th made free-throw on 13 attempts for the Sun.
15:28Edwards, Griner, and Nelson Ndoto, all players that are in double figures right now.
15:33The post, no kidding.
15:34No wonder that they have a lot of those looks in the paint.
15:37And Gloma bothering Carla late.
15:40Bridget Carlton a bit off balance, and her three won't drop.
15:48Whistle.
15:51Against Bridget Carlton.
15:58Boy, I did not see a lot there.
16:01And that is a third foul on Bridget Carlton, and also with Connecticut in the bonus.
16:09They'll go to the free-throw line on just an absolute marginal contact foul.
16:25I'm guessing she got her on the arm there, but not really too much to go off of.
16:29I mean, so the two free-throws knocked in.
16:41And it has been a 13 out of 15 free-throw day for Connecticut.
16:47Carla late turning on the Jets, turning the corner on Gloma, and she draws the foul.
16:53And so Portland now in the bonus.
16:56So they will try to get a couple of points on the board here, down by 14.
17:01And Carla late loves to be in the bonus.
17:04That's what she's going to continue to look to do.
17:06Head down, attacking the basket.
17:07You have Angloma, an outstanding defender, but she does tend to overplay and be very aggressive.
17:12And late, she can use that to her advantage.
17:14That's the third personal on Angloma.
17:17Well, you can join us July 22nd for our Pride celebration versus the Wings.
17:22Get your tickets at theportlandfire.com.
17:28A couple of free-throws by Carla late.
17:33She's got four assists, nine points.
17:43Major Walker, hounded by late, gives the ball up.
17:49Kennedy Berg, tough make with her offhand through the defense.
17:55Boy, Connecticut has played really well.
17:58They have made some tough buckets tonight, or this morning, rather.
18:06Late kicks it to the popping Gustafson.
18:09Her three a bit rushed, and it misses everything.
18:14Carly Samuelson with the pressure, and she disrupts jump ball, and Samuelson helping up the Kiwi,
18:25Charlize Sledger Walker, whose mom is in the stands.
18:28The first time for Charlize Sledger Walker's mom to come over from New Zealand to come watch her daughter play.
18:35How about that?
18:36And her mom was an absolute baller for the New Zealand national team.
18:42With the team in 2000 and 2004, Charlize the youngest member ever of the tall firm.
18:49She was a 16-year-old playing for the New Zealand national team.
18:54Her mom's name, Leanne Walker.
18:58So, Regan Beers, former Oregon State Beaver, for transferring to Oklahoma, where she finished her collegiate career.
19:06She's the rookie.
19:08Splits the pair, and it's a 15-point Connecticut lead.
19:14Portland not out of striking distance yet, but they have got to get some kills.
19:20And that is what you need on the offensive end, the three-point opportunity for Carla Leite.
19:30But I tell you, it's going to happen every time.
19:33In the bonus, Carla Leite head down, attacking the rim, getting a player on her hip.
19:38That is what she does best.
19:41And, of course, it's got to be the Toyota drive of the game here, the formula for the fire that
19:45they are going to need right now, getting to the free throw line.
19:48And that is late on the attack downhill.
19:50That's how you attack the outside foot of the big in that cover solution, in the pick and roll.
19:56It's a great job by Carla, and that was your Toyota drive of the game.
19:58She has such a knack when she turns the corner of avoiding the defense.
20:06That's Angloma's fourth foul.
20:08She has been really a menace defensively for Connecticut.
20:11She's going to have to head to the bench with that fourth foul.
20:15And then good job moving her feet by Leite.
20:19Ledger Walker could not get to the paint.
20:21And a strip.
20:23Good deflection by Samuelson, but last touched by the fire.
20:26Eight seconds on the shot clock for the Sun.
20:31It feels like there's a run coming for Portland.
20:35It's going to have to be stops and scores.
20:37Emphasis on the stop.
20:38Emphasis on protecting the paint.
20:41Emphasis on Aaliyah Edwards.
20:45Ledger Walker, tough floater off one foot on the window.
20:49The rookie is just so poised.
20:53She's been good everywhere on the floor, too.
20:55Defense, offense, creating.
20:58And another whistle.
21:00So Portland will head to the foul line in the bonus.
21:03Again, Carla Leite.
21:04Got Diamond Miller right on the hip.
21:06You talked about it.
21:06That ability to create that space.
21:09I mean, it is every, even the top defenders in the league,
21:13she just has that knack and that ability to get them on her hip.
21:15But that's the third on Diamond Miller.
21:18This Connecticut Sun team is without two of their better players,
21:22but they are playing well.
21:24They have won three of their last six games.
21:28No Anissa Morrow.
21:30And no Sanaya Rivers.
21:34Anissa on the left.
21:36Sanaya there in the middle as they have to look on from the bench.
21:40But they are happy with what they are seeing.
21:42Double team comes to Ledger Walker.
21:47That's a duel.
21:48They're back in the mix.
21:49It just makes this team even more dangerous.
21:50The rebounding, the defense, and that scoring with Sanaya.
21:54And now the takeaway.
21:55May Gustafson takes the steal after the double team closed.
21:59Samuelson gets it to Carlton.
22:03And now it's a late.
22:05Great ball movement.
22:07The ball all over the floor.
22:09And it's the shooter who comes open.
22:11Carly Samuelson, her second made three here in the third.
22:15And I love it.
22:16The fire knew exactly who they had to find, and that's Carly.
22:19And they whipped that ball around to make sure she got it on that extra pass.
22:25Sharp shooter out of Stanford.
22:26Got eight points.
22:28She's perfect from long range.
22:33Oh, losing the grip was Miller.
22:35And then the shot clock violation.
22:38Did not get it off in time.
22:40And Portland has time.
22:42They finished the second quarter with a three-point play.
22:46And they'll have a chance to get a bucket here with 6.3 seconds.
22:53Alex Sarama calling out instructions.
22:58Now they move the clock to seven seconds flat.
23:05Carla laid downhill into the lane.
23:08And then red.
23:09Charlize Ledger Walker with a takeaway.
23:12And that one won't drop.
23:14Ledger Walker has red this wide open.
23:19And that's tonight's Rivermark money move.
23:24You'll love to see it as Portland getting some punch off the bench from Carly Samuelson.
23:31Portland on an 8-2 run since Connecticut's largest lead.
23:35It was 15, 70-55.
23:37And Portland closing that gap.
23:39And now Engsler with a steal.
23:41In transition all the way into the cup.
23:46Defense to offense.
23:47Great job from Carla Leite blowing up that handoff.
23:49Take it away from Charlize Ledger Walker.
23:51And Emily Engsler getting the deflection.
23:53Leite was very good in the third quarter.
23:55Nine points perfect from the foul line.
23:58Five of five.
23:58And another Portland takeaway.
24:01Bridget Carlton with a steal.
24:04We know what this Portland Fire team can do in fourth quarters.
24:09Seven clutch wins this season.
24:14Flipping it up.
24:15Engsler will take the foul and head to the line.
24:20Smart play by Emily Engsler.
24:22Felt the contact and got in motion.
24:24And the steal, how about it?
24:26Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
24:27Emily Engsler just defending all over the floor and for the lay-in.
24:33That's what makes her so valuable, is that ability to defend the basketball.
24:36And that was tonight's star steal brought to you by Carl's Jr.
24:41Emily Engsler continues to put up career numbers.
24:46She's top three in the WNBA in blocks and top ten in steals.
24:53And she has added three steals to that total already today and a block.
25:01And a couple of dimes that have been picture perfect.
25:06So, Engsler.
25:13Two for three at the foul line.
25:16Bridget Carlton, take a look here.
25:17Took a hit, yeah, from Nelson and Dota right under the chest.
25:23I don't knock the wind out of you.
25:25Bridget Carlton, hockey tough, the two-time Canadian Olympian, who has staples in her head
25:33earlier this season but just played through it.
25:36Got staples in her head and then went back in the game.
25:41So, the officials will head over to the monitor to take a look to see if there will be a
25:48flagrant
25:48one foul, which is unnecessary contact, which would be two free throws and the ball.
25:54And that would be a massive development here in the fourth quarter.
25:58So, you can strike the match or burn the heat with mini plans starting at just $23 a game.
26:04Visit ThePortlandFire.com to learn more.
26:08You can do that right now if you go to ThePortlandFire.com during this review, the break in action.
26:15You can come away with a five-game mini plan and head to the fire pit as summer gets heated
26:23up.
26:25What a first half of the season it was.
26:41They did not rule that as a flagrant foul.
26:47So, we play on.
26:50Elbows allowed.
26:56I am surprised by that one.
26:58It seems pretty cut and dry when you lead with your elbow.
27:01For Connecticut with the basketball.
27:04And a six-point lead.
27:08Connecticut put 32 points on the board in the first quarter.
27:13They could not miss.
27:15Portland's defense has tightened it up since then.
27:17They allowed just 18 points in the second quarter.
27:22And after Connecticut led by 14, good tip there.
27:25Bridget Carlton with the block.
27:27And it's a shot clock violation.
27:29Bridget Carlton extending.
27:32Bridget Carlton on the closeout against Ledger Walker.
27:36Great defensive play by BC.
27:40And that is just knowing time and score.
27:43She didn't have time to put this on the deck.
27:48It's a great block out too from Gustafson.
27:51So, Orland with a three could cut this lead in half and get this to a one-possession game.
28:01And Laila Lacan disrupted.
28:07And Carla LaTe.
28:10And Laila Lacan.
28:12A great battle for these two young French stars.
28:15It's been fun watching them go at it.

37:00Watch the ball movement there.
37:02Meg Gustafson popping back out to the perimeter, recognizing where the help is coming from.
37:06And Carla laid soaring with the extension on it.
37:10That's so nice.
37:11She is unguardable.
37:12One of those unguardable plays.
37:14Hard to guard in this league.
37:16That's just a beautiful picture.
37:17Her floating in the air like the Statue of Liberty.
37:20Tanya.
37:21A big bucket here in the fourth.
37:23Works her way in.
37:24Draws the defense.
37:25Barker open.
37:26Had a good look.
37:28Wouldn't drop.
37:28And now it pokes free.
37:30Carlton has it.
37:32Ingsler.
37:32Another pump fake.
37:34Against Griner.
37:35You bet!
37:38Emily Ingsler.
37:39Huge play.
37:40She has been dynamic in this game.
37:46Six assists for Ingsler and some big buckets with the 14 points.
37:52Mid-range answer.
37:54Edwards knocks it down.
37:58Two-minute warning.
38:01Ingsler.
38:02No!
38:03Bit of a rush shot.
38:04She wanted to track down her miss.
38:16The hustle here.
38:17I mean, this is on 6-9.
38:19All that length.
38:20But you saw the slight leading back, the fader, and the backward, of course.
38:23Your best friend at all times.
38:26Emily Ingsler.
38:26Great move there.
38:2814.6 assists.
38:31Three steals and a block.
38:33She is doing it all.
38:35Wanted to get a stop here.
38:37And she has whistled for the foul.
38:40And that is her fifth personal.
38:42There is no ability to challenge.
38:46Portland used their challenge.
38:48Did not win it earlier in this game.
38:53So a big whistle against Emily, who's provided so much hustle.
39:03And it will send Aliyah Edwards to the foul line.
39:08She's working on 20 points.
39:11And there it is.
39:1320 points.
39:14Eight boards for Edwards in just 22 minutes.
39:17She has been really efficient.
39:22But for Emily Ingsler, now there is no margin of error.
39:28One more personal.
39:29And she will be disqualified.
39:32And Edwards hits both to extend the lead to five.
39:39Portland has been hanging around and is making some runs.
39:45Oh, Lacan using that length to send back.
39:48The late jumper.
39:52They're calling it 5'11".
39:54But her wingspan, it seems longer.
39:57Barkert, no.
40:00And after the stop, Connecticut pulls down the rebound.
40:05Lacan turns the corner.
40:07Flicks it and reverses it.
40:10And Connecticut extends that lead to seven.
40:14And the crowd here on camp day clapping for their approval.
40:25Boy, a nice run by the Connecticut Sun to extend this lead back out.
40:33Portland just has not been able to get the consistent stops that they have needed.
40:40It's been a lot of pick-your-poison action, but they're gonna need a whole lot more from Emily Ingsler,
40:46who has really just had an all-around complete game.
40:49When you talk about the offense to defense, she's shooting the ball efficiently.
40:54She's got four rebounds.
40:56She's got six assists.
40:58Three steals, a block, all-around complete game.
41:01And they're gonna need her to continue to elevate the team on both ends of the floor.
41:05She does have five fouls, so they're gonna look to attack her with her guarding Aaliyah Edwards.
41:11So she's gotta be careful, gotta be disciplined there, because they're gonna need her on the floor.
41:14It is a 6-0 Connecticut run over the last minute in 13.
41:19And that's exactly how much time we have left on the clock for Portland.
41:25They're gonna need a bit more than that.
41:27They'll need a 7-0 run over a minute 13 if they want to extend this game
41:32and even more to try to win it in regulation.
41:35You can shop Portland Fire Rebel jerseys at ThePortlandFireTeamShop.com.
41:42Some great gear that can be yours right now from your fingertips.
41:50So one timeout remaining for Portland, two for Connecticut here with 1.13 to go.
41:58Defense!
42:00Defense!
42:02Defense!
42:03Defense!
42:04The defense extending to the three-point line.
42:06Barker works her way inside and gets the bucket.
42:10Jump step through two.
42:12It's how you aggressively attack the rim.
42:14Four Portland players in double figures.
42:18Barker has seventh.
42:22Got to get stops on this end though.
42:26McCann, great move, but comes up short.
42:30Now Portland will push.
42:31BC working on Ledger Walker.
42:34Fade away!
42:35Gets it!
42:37And it's a three-point lead in plenty of time.
42:41It's a BC shot.
42:42I'm not mad at any time she shoots it.
42:44She's up to a dozen.
42:49Do not need to foul here.
42:51You get a stop, and you're gonna have plenty of time.
42:55But you need a stop.
42:57Lacan in there, and it's a takeaway.
43:00Inkzler has it!
43:04Ball in the hands of Carla Leight.
43:08Got the mismatch with a dota on her.
43:13And a timeout called by Coach Sarama.
43:18And that was an interesting situation.
43:21They got the ball back with less than 20 to go.
43:25Could have gone quick two and pressured and fouled.
43:28They didn't.
43:30And now with 7.4 seconds left for Leight,
43:34who was gigantic in that four-overtime loss
43:39against Washington.
43:42Ball in her hands, Leight.
43:45And the Leight show can make something happen
43:50at the highest level.
43:56Here is Leight inside the arc.
44:00Bridget Carlton had to force it up.
44:03And Connecticut gets the stop that they needed.
44:11Connecticut offensively shooting 53% today,
44:16and just hit one more big bucket than Portland.
44:20And they get the clutch win.
44:25I mean, the play here clearly off the rip and drive.
44:28They were looking to help to come in for Bridget Carlton for a corner three.
44:31You credit Charlie's.
44:32Ledger Walker was all over that to get that defensive stop.
44:37But the...
