I don’t see a lot of WNBA games but I did take in this one. The Sun seemed to be clearly the better team but the Sky made it interesting at the end before losing 100-94.
I was impressed with the quality of play, especially the quickness and athleticism, but also the shooting. Aggressive is the best word to describe the style of play.
Dolson looks like a solid pro although she was in foul trouble all night, thanks in part to some ridiculous calls, but Jonquel Jones was a real force inside for the Sun. Tuck was fairly quiet, one putback rebound I remember, and Gabby was out sick.
Lou played pretty well in limited minutes. Some nice moves early got her to the line, and a nice three in the second half. Had what appeared to be a heating pad on her wrist while on the bench, so probably still dealing with some stiffness/soreness. She and the Sky will need to figure out where she fits in defensively, I don’t think it is at the 4. She looked good, somewhat stronger than I remember but maybe it is just the fit of the uniform. I hope she gets more minutes, but they are tough to come by given the Sky backcourt.
Love going to games at Mohegan, great venue.
