I dont like the reckless close out call. There is nothing that you can do about a player coming down in the space that you are defending. A reckless closeout is when you run under the player so that they dont have any space to come down.

It feels like the Aces miss a lot of bunny shots

It sucks ESPN didn’t have post game coverage. We needed to hear from the big 3.

I still want to know why Becky isn’t playing Nye

With 4 rebounds so far, A'ja Wilson has surpassed 500 in her WNBA postseason career.

She is just the 4th player in league history with 1,000+ points and 500+ rebounds in the WNBA Playoffs, joining:

Tamika Catchings
Candace Parker
DeWanna Bonner

A'ja got there in 52 games, fastest all-time.

Holly was struggling to keep up with KAH in that interview 🤣

Over/under on these #LoveIsBlind couples making it? Maybe 1 based on this first batch of episodes. They’re already looking past some red flags.

Let me say this about the Fever…Stephanie White was worth the tampering and every damn cent she was paid.

Talk about motivating and coaching your team to buy in to whatever game plan written up to overcome adversity to COMPETE is some elite shit

Aces win but the story of this game is the heart of the Fever.

Also, I know Odyssey better be on someone’s roster full time next year.

Per ESPN Research, A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young are the first pair of teammates in WNBA history with at least 30 points in the same playoff game.

That was a dumb last play by the Aces. Why did A’ja not touch the ball?

25+ POINTS FOR THE M'VP 💅

A'ja is now 3rd for most 25+ point games in playoff history! 🙌
