her playing more 4 at times has absolutely hit that too big/too quick point on the head. but even at the 3 she hits a quick seal.

I thought Bridget was really good defensively against WAS. I was intrigued offensively but to your point it literally doesn't change a thing since they always have ball movement, spacing and make quick decisions.
-
I think it really highlights Carelton's help defense, she was money
-
I went in thinking about the offense but the Lynx are just the Lynx so it's ball movement, quick decisions and spacing no matter what. The defensive activity intrigues me
Might run this Lynx game back because they have traditionally been a “double big”team during this run (all have skill) but if you’re telling me they can have small ball in their back pocket I am intrigued
-
The thing about the Lynx defense is they just sustain and make multiple efforts. Breakdowns get corrected, openings are there but can close quick. McBride helps on the cut, Hiedeman stunts at the nail, McBride helps on the drive. Connected unit.

i am not sure how she deflected this with both hands.
-
Even more activity from the Lynx defense when small. Touching cutters, mixing in unders, working to deny. Good switch from McBride here, really good rotation from Carleton. Tough when their help defense is locked in.

Really solid defensive rep from Bridget Carleton -Slides under the DHO, gives McBride room to go under -Shows help while staying attached -Sees the backdoor cut, arrives on the catch with arms up. -Holds to get the block

The decisiveness from Jackie Young. Aces have run this actin a lot, Wilson with a screen for Gray, pop into a handoff with Young. Diggins slides under, Storm switch the rescreen and kick Diggins out of the matchup. Young gets right to a 3 pointer.
