00:03Hey folks, welcome in to some WNBA action on 2K Sports, facing the Atlanta dream.
00:10Coming to you from the beautiful city of Atlanta, I'm Blake Suniga.
00:14Joining me courtside are Brian Benefitemi and Tim Swartz.
00:19I'm sure a lot of the fans are already looking forward to the postseason, but be patient everyone, it's going
00:25to be here soon.
00:26Yeah, it'll be here soon, but I'm not a very patient person, so it's time for teams to start thinking
00:31about it as well.
00:32This is when you want to make sure your players are fresh going into the playoffs.
00:36Well, not all teams have that luxury, though.
00:39You know, for some of them, they're going all out just to make it to the playoffs.
01:03Here we go.
01:07And so off the tip, it's Atlanta.
01:13Now here's Gray.
01:14She's guarded closely.
01:18Pass to Reese.
01:22Back to Gray.
01:23Takes the three.
01:24That one falls.
01:26A great assist by Angel Roos.
01:28A younger player who loves to learn and loves to improve.
01:33I don't think it's crazy to say that Gray will be unstoppable when she develops a consistent long ball.
01:40Now here's Cole.
01:43That's no good.
01:45Couldn't get her first shot to go.
01:46Well, it was quite the arrival to the WNBA for Angel Reese.
01:51Already a top rebounder.
01:53So rare to have a rookie lead the league in a major category like rebounding.
01:56But Reese did.
01:57Her offensive rebounding is especially key.
01:59Angel creates so many second chance opportunities.
02:03Well, we've seen Lexi Hull has some range, but she can also slash, bring it inside.
02:08Pass to Jones.
02:10Powered.
02:11The three ball.
02:12Well, stripped away.
02:18Down low.
02:19Turner.
02:20Reese defending.
02:22Golden opportunity to finish the break.
02:24And she botches it.
02:26You simply can't be missing finishes like that.
02:29It's inexcusable.
02:31That doesn't fall.
02:32Can't drop her first shot.
02:34Offensively, just one of four to start.
02:36They're still warming up.
02:39Pass to hole.
02:43Makes it off the glass.
02:48Now, about two minutes gone by in the first quarter.
02:53Here's Canada.
02:55Gray.
02:56Nailed from three-point land.
02:58Let's get her up.
02:59Gray.
03:00Always looking to shoot it.
03:04Hole with the ball.
03:06Pass to Burrell.
03:07Pass to Burrell.
03:08Pass to Burrell.
03:13From past the arc.
03:15Green with the rebound.
03:20Gray outside.
03:22To the middle.
03:24Here's Reese.
03:26For three, Ryan Howard.
03:28The second chance effort.
03:29And there's the bucket as Jones finishes it off.
03:33Well, scoops up the board.
03:34Jones knows exactly what to do.
03:36Put it back in.
03:37Pass to Burrell.
03:39Now, here's Turner.
03:40Guarded by Jones.
03:42Count the basket.
03:44Nice pass.
03:45She got that ball right into her teammate's shooting pocket.
03:48And it yielded great results.
03:54Now, here's Gray.
03:55Defense is right there.
03:58Here's Howard.
04:00Here's Howard.
04:00And too long on the shot.
04:08That one's in.
04:10Her first basket of the game.
04:11She is one for two.
04:13Textbook.
04:14Nice pass.
04:15Nice catch.
04:16Nice shot.
04:19Pass to Reese.
04:23Got a hand on it.
04:25With the jumping ability,
04:27Brianna Turner can get up there to send shots away.
04:31And a dream making a change here.
04:35And a dream making a change here.
04:41First quarter of play.
04:43And just over three and a half minutes in.
04:47Pass to hole.
04:52Burrell.
04:53Burrell.
04:53Reese defending.
04:56Here's Holt.
04:58And that one's good.
05:02Here's McDonald.
05:08Takes it out to Reese.
05:13Gray up top.
05:16Pick by Jones.
05:19The dream again can't hit.
05:23And they have certainly been looking locked in offensively.
05:26They sure have.
05:27Staying aggressive and playing in control.
05:29And the basket is good.
05:30Well, it's really almost like an automatic two points.
05:33Put him up on the board anytime he gets the ball that close to the basket.
05:36The defense has to battle to keep her out of that position in the first place.
05:40Or it's going to be a long day for them.
05:43Now here's McDonald.
05:45Looking for a first basket still in this one.
05:48Just really good awareness right there on the assist.
05:56Over to the wing.
06:01Lexi Holt on the wing.
06:03Gray defending.
06:04Pass to Burrell.
06:05And here's Holt.
06:07Clock at six.
06:09Burrell.
06:10Three-pointer.
06:12It's good for her second make.
06:14Two for three so far.
06:16She might not have the long-range ability of some other players in this league.
06:19But she'll knock down open ones like that.
06:22Now Jones.
06:26Gray outside.
06:29Here's the three.
06:37So both teams making some changes here.
06:54Here's Bell.
06:55Just one second between the shot clock and game clock.
06:59That one goes counted.
07:01The ball movement on this run has been fantastic.
07:05And it's a big part of why they've been able to get good looks.
07:08Absolutely.
07:09The defense unable to react quickly enough to deal with their passing.
07:12Look at the handles from Howard.
07:15Just slicing her way through the defense.
07:17Pass to Juhas.
07:19And her salute outside.
07:21It'll count.
07:23Oh!
07:24And she just nails it.
07:25It's in.
07:26Oh, right at the buzzer.
07:28What a three at the horn.
07:30They have the quarter on a high note.
07:31I'll say.
07:32That'll give them a nice little lift to start the next quarter.
07:35Yeah, let's see how it works out for them.
07:37And so the first quarter in the books.
07:40Up eight.
07:41And we'll bring you the start of quarter two when we return.
08:07We'll bring you the start of quarter two when we return.
08:34And now the second quarter just getting set to begin.
08:38Really just the start they wanted to this game.
08:40Solid offense through one.
08:42Not a lot of stalls for them on the offensive end here.
08:52Pass to Harrison.
08:56And that comes off the assist by Courtney Vandersloot.
09:00Another pass put right into the shooter's pocket for a terrific assist.
09:05You know, they've done a lot of that today.
09:06And you know, it's something we haven't seen much at the opposite end of the court.
09:12Now here's Howard.
09:16The three is up.
09:17The three-pointer is on target.
09:20Well, when Howard is knocking down threes, Ryan is unguardable.
09:28Up top Vandersloot.
09:30Guarded by McDonald.
09:32Here's Bell.
09:35And they come right back with their own three-pointer.
09:37They're relying on their three-point shooting and getting pretty good results.
09:41They're right.
09:42Three of their last five makes are from beyond the arc.
09:47That is shot by Howard.
09:48No good.
09:49On an open look like that, she's just got a gift for making the weak coverage pay.
09:55That's a surprising miss.
09:56She's almost always deadly when she's that open, even from way downtown.
10:01She did so well to lead her teammate right to the ideal spot.
10:07That's the kind of playmaking coaches like to see.
10:09Now here's McDonald.
10:11He hasn't scored yet.
10:13That unscrew will change.
10:15Great positioning on the putback.
10:17Hard to get that shot off with the size difference there.
10:20That makes it a tough individual matchup for her, especially down low in the post.
10:24That's a big challenge she's taken on.
10:27Going in there with the bigs, great job.
10:30They've done good work with the ball.
10:32They've been moving and getting quality chances.
10:35And their field goal percentage reflects that.
10:38They've been the much better team shooting the ball.
10:40And it's not just about shooting, Brian, as we were just mentioning.
10:43It's about moving, cutting, all the little things.
10:46Now here's Vandersloot.
10:48The 12-point lead, their biggest of the game.
10:52She just assumed she's going to not go down when she was open as she was there.
10:56Here's Vivian.
11:03Pass to McDonald.
11:04That's Trey.
11:06They get the rebound.
11:09Fader on the way.
11:10And there's another one for the dream.
11:13Next time she has that much space, she should just go straight up with it.
11:17And leave the fadeaway at home.
11:20Now here's Harrison.
11:22The shot is good, and so is her shooting tonight.
11:26Three for four.
11:27Nice feed that time from Juhas.
11:30The dream on offense.
11:32A 12-point game.
11:34Back to McDonald.
11:39Victoria Vivian is on the wing.
11:41To the paint.
11:43Here's Hillman.
11:45It's hauled in by Harrison.
11:48Pass to Johannes.
11:51Here's Bell.
11:53Vandersloot outside.
11:56Right wing.
11:57Puts up the three.
11:58It's rebounded by Atlanta.
12:01And even three-on-three break.
12:04Releases.
12:06Power.
12:06That's good.
12:07What an excellent assist.
12:09It really led her to the perfect spot.
12:32And almost four minutes gone in the second quarter of play.
12:36The number one pick in the 2022 draft.
12:39Ryan Howard has had a great start to her career.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Winning rookie of the year.
12:44And she's been at about 17 points in the game over her first three seasons.
12:49Howard's provided a serious scoring punch.
12:52But she's only getting better, guys.
12:54Now here's Vivian.
12:56She hasn't yet put up any points in this one.
12:59Well, that's an assertive three-ball by Vivian.
13:01She really commits to her shot selection from beyond the arc.
13:04But she gets that one.
13:06Some defensive breakdowns happening now.
13:09Their last four buckets allowed have come from very close range.
13:13And giving up these high-percentage shot attempts, it's not going to get it done.
13:18They need to figure it out.
13:20Here's Hillman.
13:22It's hold in by Burrell.
13:27Passed a hole.
13:28Over Gray.
13:30The rebound by Gray.
13:32The dream trail.
13:36Over three, Jordan, Canada.
13:39And the ball goes out of play.
13:41Unable to keep it in.
13:44And the dream making a change here.
13:48Ryan Howard.
13:55Man, these guys have had some good motion on offense.
13:58Nice assist.
13:59When everybody's involved offensively, it's in a way helping you defensively, too.
14:05And it's Ryan Howard with the rebound.
14:11Pass to Canada.
14:17Pick by Jones.
14:20Back to Howard.
14:22Puts up a three.
14:24The offensive rebound.
14:27Jones.
14:27No good.
14:28Great defense right there to prevent one of the best finishers in the league from converting in close.
14:33To the inside.
14:35And it's good for two.
14:37Not much resistance on the inside.
14:40That's their fifth consecutive make in the paint.
14:44Those looks they're allowing are almost automatic.
14:47In fact, I'll just say it.
14:49They are automatic.
14:53Now, here's Howard.
14:55She's got seven.
14:57Let's it go from deep.
15:00Got it off in time.
15:02Oh, no good trying to beat the buzzer.
15:05And so, that's the end of the first half.
15:08They're up by 11.
15:09And we've got more in store for you right after this.
15:14And we've got more in store for you right after this.
15:28And we've got more in store for you right after this.
15:31We've got more in store for you right after this.
16:09and as we begin the second half first half wasn't even close and we'll see if there is a comeback
16:15on our hands or more of the same as we get the third started and hole has made a strong
16:21contribution
16:21so far in this one she was successful just about every time she drove the lane in the first half
16:27she was on a mission it really was you know aggressive attacking basketball at its very
16:33best is what we just saw just so fun to watch we love it
16:40and welcome back as we begin the second half so far not a tightly contested game but anything can happen
16:51out to the wing
16:55inside
16:58from outside the yard it's hauled in by reese
17:02atlanta with the ball they trail by 11. pass to canada
17:10back to gray this one for three knocks down the three ball what a smart feed by canada she's got
17:18a great eye for finding those ready shooters
17:23and here's hole
17:32drills it from outside right back at you they immediately get those three points back just
17:39trading punches from long range what a heavyweight fight now here is canada no scoring yet from her
17:46but that's likely to change
17:50out to gray beyond the arc
17:52that's in there angel reese with the assist
17:55he's made an impact with the three point shot today and guess what that's another big one
18:01yeah and that's where she's been getting her points and with a couple more out there
18:07yeah we've really got a ball game on our hands
18:22and here's hole she's got eight
18:29and we're about one and a half minutes here into the second half

18:55offensively gotten good looks and hit three or four of them
19:03now hole
19:11started by canada
19:13no good
19:15and here's the dream
19:17since the second half started they've only given up three points
19:21reese
19:22banked in off the glass
19:24boy have they been hitting the glass hard or what
19:27kind of surprising it's such a tight game
19:30they've had their chances that they're playing with passion
19:33they've just got to tighten things up
19:35execution wise
19:37now here's turner
19:39and she finishes nicely on the layup
19:41backed by her solid footwork
19:44turner knows a thing or two about scoring inside
19:47atlanta calls timeout
19:49they'd seen enough scoring in the paint and wanted to send the message to their team
19:54lock things up inside
19:56yeah you're right tim
19:58i guarantee you this talk centers around cutting down on all those points coming against
20:03and maybe it's more held it's the front of player
20:06they've got to try something
20:14clock
20:14clock keeps going three minutes into the second half now
20:22jones right side
20:23she gets it in there
20:25these inside looks are what jones is all about
20:28she knows how to outwork the defense
20:30and one of the most improved players in the wmba
20:34brianna jones
20:35but you look at her first three years jones averaged just about three points per game
20:39but in that wubble
20:4020-20 down in bradenton she got a chance to play more put up 11 per game
20:44and now since then has multiple all-star appearances

21:53so creative with how she operates
21:55two shots
