Former Lakers guard Michael Cooper is in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player. He joins his teammates Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Jamaal Wilkes and Bob McAdoo. In the NBA’s most physical era, he was a top shelf perimeter defender- in zone plus man coverage- and an integral part […]
The hosting Liberty took their fingers off the trigger, and the Lynx struck them down. The visitors were behind 15 points in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter but rose from the grave on moves from Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride, Natisha Hiedeman and Napheesa Collier to force overtime. They then outmarked the Liberty, […]
The Aces rode on until bolts loosened, armor dented and wheels fell off. They failed to 3-peat and gave up the final match in the fourth quarter to last year’s runner-up in Las Vegas. The New York Liberty were hungrier and had a better crew in the rematch. On top of that, Sabrina Ionescu, […]
The New York Liberty put down the back-to-back defending champions in Game 4 in Las Vegas, avenging last year’s Finals defeat, too. Sabrina Ionescu plus Jonquel Jones lit up the perimeter. Breanna Stewart scored at three levels. And the defense shut down any hope for a second-half comeback. The Liberty’s intensity resembled that of […]
The Aces will leave to deal another day. A’ja Wilson carried her squad to the finish line, and the defensive pressure- blitzing Sabrina Ionescu and suffocating the 3-point line- zapped the visitors in the second half. Wilson didn’t allow the Liberty’s protection to put a lid on her game early. She came out converting […]
The Las Vegas Aces’ first-quarter burst included 10 field goals scored on nine assists. Yet, Chelsea Gray’s multiple catch-and-shoot trays, drive through the center and mid-range pull-up, and Alysha Clark’s three 3-pointers only amounted to a five-point advantage, partly because of poor ball protection and getting outrebounded. The Aces’ first bad omen was Kelsey Plum […]
The Liberty’s superior 3-point shooting, rebounding and defense at the outside and up close, decided Game 1. Jonquel Jones was attracting extra help near the basket. And Sabrina Ionescu plus Breanna Stewart garroted the champs, getting anything they wanted all over the floor. Early, Stewart scored on a baseline cut and fastbreak layup. Then […]
Aaron Gordon revealed that he didn’t get a call to join Team USA basketball at Nuggets media day. “There was a little bit of salt there,” Gordon said. Team USA doesn’t always need a star to take up a spot. Most of the elite haven’t been role players for a lot of years […]
The first changes from Game 1: Temi Fagbenle started for the Indiana Fever instead of NaLyssa Smith; Marina Mabrey was inserted for Tyasha Harris, who hurt her right ankle. The Fever stunned the Sun early, scoring on the break. But like an experienced prize fighter absorbing an early flurry, the Sun regained control […]
The WNBA Playoffs commenced with a bang. All the home teams won. Napheesa Collier was the player of the day, notching 38 points on 11 of 19 attempts, with six rebounds and four assists. And A’Ja Wilson was handed her MVP trophy. Keep in mind that the first round is a best-of-three series, so […]
