Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | July 16, 2024

Angel Reese, with the 15 double-doubles in a row, and the record for that, and immediately... Yeah, she missed, started the season out with injury. It's great to see her be able to get herself back. Reese is frustrated, thought she should have gotten the pass inside instead of Carter. So quick with the ball in her hands. Krzyzewski in the house, it's a who's who tonight. Krzyzewski with wife Nikki in attendance. Always love it when they make their way in. Tough pass by Asia Wilson. These two are going to have a battle tonight. The former Gamecocks has plumbed out herself in the air and she knew it. And Jackie Young says, I have no way of catching up to Carter on that one. Wilson inside, ball fake one way and finishes the other. Got the rookie in the air a bit. Martin is smiling on that. That's a shot she wanted Kitty Carter to take. Yep. Great. Losing the team. Evans recognizing. Olympic break. Gustafson gets the start for the second quarter for the Aces as Plumb drives it in good. Kelsey Plumb, her first points of the game. She will be representing Team Spain. Yep, she'll be playing for them. The extra pass, the cut in the lane. Jackie Young, first points of the game for Jackie Young. I think that's an own goal, isn't it? I think that was tipped in. That's Izzy Harrison. Isabelle Harrison has checked into the game for Chicago. Stokes matched up right now on Reese. Harrison's in the high post. On the way, a far left corner hits it. Gets set to check in. It's super early this morning. The Aces had a little pep in their step. They've got to be frustrated. Things aren't going their way in this first half. And the steal. Good anticipation by Jackie Young. Pass may be able to hang on. Now the switch. Sticks it. Asia in the high post, trying to get closer. Harrison gets a piece of it, but it's batted down and the Aces come up with the steal. Lefty drives, scoops it up. No good. I think this is the best first half I've seen Chicago have. The focus has been there. Now the first points. Harrison high to low. Reese. I think so too. I think they have looked really composed. They have low turnovers. Turnovers have been a problem at times as Jackie gets rid of the D and sticks it. And Swarming has to pick it up. Gives it up to Mabry. Another one. How about the left side? Nothing but net for Marina Mabry. Red hot early against the Aces. They cooled her off a bit in the second half in Chicago. Underwede trying to post up Hayes. Able to hang on to it and gets it. Dana Evans stays on. She got to start the second quarter. Saw her come in late in the first. Harrison ball fake. Puts it up around and good. Good production. Everything used a little fundamental ball fake. Yeah, this guy had played so fundamentally well this entire first half. Hayes is saying throw it, hug on it, stick it. Hayes trying to get a little closer. Went up and over. Harrison to help D and tries to get rid of it. Evans quickly trying to save it and instead two-on-one plumb to hit for the Aces. Aces down by 21 at one point. They've cut it down a bit. Also haven't had one in a long time. And there's some help D from Asia Wilson. A 9-0 run for the Aces. Can they add to it? Hesitation. There's no doubt the Aces have kicked up their defense a bit. But there's Allen on the drive. Too much on it. And now the tempo trying to be pushed by Las Vegas. Jackie Young muscles it up good. You can get it down below double figures before halftime. That's a big plus. Hayes to Wilson. And they do. Back cut by plumb. Looks like she had the layup instead. Gives it up to Asia Wilson for the Las Vegas C.P. For Chicago, Reese Carter. Between the legs and sticks it. Kennedy Carter adds to her totals. You coached. How much do you love a player that loves to go get the O boards? And especially when they're 6'7", that they want to move around. They're not just stationary. Yeah, she's great with her foot. Gray assessing the situation. Into the lane. Takes it up. Banks it up good. Allen baseline drive. And somehow squeezes that one up and in. And a heated blanket. Almost a steal. But Carter with the quickness takes it up good. You've got to play smart at angles when you're trying to defend. Kennedy Carter. There's been just one tie in this game. There have been no league changes. It's been all Chicago. But the aces to Wilson with the fader good. And the step back she put on that. And the defense is not there to help. We can't afford to help. Because if we step out, besides, the lane would be open. Yeah, good point. Mabry, a stretch from. And the sky out running. Allen. And Wilson lets her go. Allen, the hesitation. Another one. Just under two minutes left in the third. Mabry. Jackie Young gets caught with the reach around. This plum almost had it taken away. This crowd is starting to make a bit more noise also. Wilson, fake one way, go the other. As you said, it was time. And in the first half, the aces were. Here's your Wilson. Trying to get open inside. Mabry instead. High off the backboard, good. Chicago trying to quiet down this crowd. That's tough to do. But Chicago with how they had played. Young gives it up. Gustafson, smash. First lead of the ball game. The Las Vegas Aces with 8.05 remaining. Harrison in the high post. Gets it. Big bucket for Isabel Harrison. 2.20 left in the game. It's a three-point lead for the Sky. Down five. And the second-chance points. Down by seven, though, with a minute 28 if you're the Aces. You've got to get the score here. Plum, lefty lane. Cardoso. But the final game before the all-star Olympic break. And the two former teammates with the hug at midcourt.
