Derek, we talked about her dominance in previous episodes, but last night felt different.
It wasn't just volume, it was precision.
What stood out to you in that 106-81 victory?
It was the rebounding angle, specifically the second chance points.
Angel grabbed 10 boards, yes, but the way she positioned herself on the weak side forced Chicago into long, difficult jumpers.
When you limit your opponent's transition opportunities, you control the pace.
Also, Jordan Canada had 10 assists.
That ball movement from the guard spot created open looks in the paint.
The Dream weren't forcing shots.
They were finding the soft spots in the defense.
And let's not forget Ryan Howard.
Remember, earlier this week, she set the WNBA season record for three-pointers.
Absolutely.
When defenders like Courtney Vandersloot try to help inside on Angel, they leave shooters open.
That opens up the perimeter.
If Ryan is hitting those threes, the lane is wide open.
It's basic spacing theory.
You can't protect the rim and the corner at the same time.
So, the offense is clicking.
But what about the defensive identity? The Dream allowed only 81 points.
That's impressive against any team, let alone one trying to salvage its season.
