Phoenix was up as much as 13, but Seattle closed to one at halftime. They briefly went ahead by 3. Merc leading by 3 to start the 4th quarter.

It looks like Natasha Howard is starting to press a bit. Last couple games w/ poor shooting% and forcing some bad shots.

KLM having a decent game with 2 strong drives to the basket. 1 a tear drop over BG.

Seattle looked dead in the water w/ a 9 point deficit, but have responded w/ a 7-0 run. 65-63 w/ 1:40 left.

Jeez, Canada got hip checked out of bounds by Griner on a drive, no call. How do the refs miss that?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well...now Seattle got a gift of a foul call on a 3 as time was expiring. Need all 3 FTs to tie the game and send it to OT.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oops, 1.2 seconds left. Missed the first FT, doh. Hit the second, intentional miss on the third, Phoenix rebounds...and the clock never starts. What the heck?

Okay, sanity has been restored, game is over. 69-67 Merc. Too much Griner, 20 points on 10-14 shooting. Bonner had 20 as well but 6-18 shooting.

Seattle is offensively challenged. Their D keeps them in games but they've been playing some ugly grinders. 3 ball isn't falling lately.

Kia Nurse is better then any of the Seattle guards not named Bird.

Well Seattle is down 2 injured starting guards from last year. Really going out on a limb there.

Kia had 24 pts today. It looks like she’s getting comfortable at this level. I like what I’m seeing from her.
