43-31 CON at the half

Ogunbowale 13 pts, 4 reb, 1 ast

Jefferson M.I.A. for the second game in a row. Starters outside of Arike failing to produce again.

Looks like the Sun is gonna get in the win column today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oops, I thought it was nearing the end of Q4. Wings still have a quarter left to rally. Down big though, 65-43.

So...in the last 2 games Jefferson has a combined 0 points and 1 assist. What the heck is going on with her?

edit--for comparision, Ty Harris has a combined 15 pts/9 assists in the 2 games, albeit a bit more PT but that's a stark contrast.

Dallas needs to bench Arike aNd put their best players on the floor to start games. Arike scores a lot but she takes a lot of shots and Dallas never manages to develop a team game.

They should probably bench all 5 starters. Except there aren't 5 starting worthy players on the bench. But I would definitely take Ndour and Jefferson out of starting roles before Arike.

Is it just me or did KML look way "out of shape"? Also, the announcer really mangled her name.

I hate to admit it but I have to agree. The only thing I can think why Moriah having such difficulties is that her slight frame and her willingness to go full boar into every screen is really messing her up physically on defense and it bleeds into her offense. Each game in the first minute, she gets run into screens and I turn my eyes away wincing.
