Seems a little weak for a double-tech in a Finals elimination game, but what do I know?

Here is the pool report from Game 4 of the 2025 WNBA Finals.

Per crew chief Roy Gulbeyan, Tibbetts was assessed two seperate technicals for yelling, "that's fuck--- terrible," twice.

Mark Davis did impromptu pressers tonight. One on the podium and another with a group of reporters. I asked him the status of the latest investigation that league opened on the Aces for salary cap circumvention.

"I don’t know. If you could find out, would you please tell me."

Chelsea on CBA (A'ja punctuates her answers with tambourine shakes)
We have great players, you need to treat them like that. There’s been lot of eyes on this league, right? Everybody is stepping up to the plate, putting on performances that are legendary. It needs to be treated as such.

A'ja says "I am not a morning girl at all" and then immediately looks over at Bam.

Asked Chelsea if the Aces are a dynasaty. "Short answer, yes."

Becky gave her players plants at the beginning of the season and Chelsea and Jackie are very proud to say theirs are still alive.

Becky tears up when talking about what this group means to her.
"I love being their coach. I love being their friend. I love pushing them, sometimes to their dislike a little bit. I’m invested in their greatness and getting that out of them every day."
A'ja, Chelsea and Jackie crying

A'ja on the tambourine
It is funny. And it’s cute and it’s pink. But this is a symbol of the joyfulness we have right now and I’m grateful to be with this bunch. And that ain’t the alcohol talking.

Becky comes in holding a beer, goggles on her head. A'ja wearing goggles and carrying tambourine. Jackie and Chelsea have champagne bottles

Mark Davis on his team
What they’ve accomplished in winning three titles in four years is truly amazing. But as I asked them just a while ago, can you do it again.

AT said it's been awhile since she's had a season like this, it being fun to come into work every day.

Nancy Armour @nrarmour.bsky.social · 7h

AT on the difference in the Finals

"I think we relaxed when we got to the Finals. ... The Finals is hard for a reason. I’ve been saying every stage it gets harder.
It was definitely a learning experience."

Tibbetts says he doesn't know status of AT's shoulder, calls her one of toughest players he's ever been around.
"I wanted to win for our organization, our city. More than that, I wanted to win for AT"
