Look at her BLOB inbound defense—she has the presence to take away the first option, the second option, and her length further pushes a deep inbound pass. That takes time and space away from the offense, and stacking plays where you remove both things is elite defensive foundation.

Finally, Jackson's worst screen nav came while trying to top-lock this wide action for Johnson. Back turned leaves her not seeing the screen, she can't navigate it cleanly, and Johnson takes it strong for the and-one.
The Mersin backcourt was Valkyrie-heavy: Tip Hayes and Julie Vanloo. Hayes, on a pitch count, flashed some explosiveness (less so when guarded by Charles), and Vanloo hit one of her patented deep threes, but Mersin shot just 22/62 (eFG - 42.7%) and turned the ball over 16 times.
Indiana Fever - top lock counter. Sims top locks Kelsey Mitchell against the offball screen, so Mitchell goes shallow, creating inside leverage for an open lane to the basket and cutting into space when Boston catches (great perimeter spacing and timing).
Some clips that didn't make it: mentioned GS out-spacing the Storm. Look at Nakase relocate the stack-side players to better space the strongside for the drive, creating an open look from three
Ok, wrapping this one up. I'm going to break down how Galatasaray exploited and executed enough upon Schio's defense to get the win in tomorrow morning's post, but until then, some nice plays from Cecilia Zandalasini (always poised in the paint) and a nice 3 off Zoom action for Kitty Laksa.
A couple of (the many) clips that didn't make it: The Tempo created two turnovers with Nyara Sabally blitzing the ballscreen, against both Georgia Amoore and Sonia Citron, in the fourth quarter. Veteran technique to hold the screener w/inside and attack ball w/outside hand.
Also a lot to like about Sydney Taylor on the Chicago Sky. Besides a game-high 23 points vs. Atlanta, her game has a snap to it offensively—fireball pass in transition, good first step on drive—that I think gives a great change of pace to Chicago's cluttered backcourt rotation.
The Mercury got some good offense when Alyssa Thomas rejected the inverted ball screen, a play with which Phoenix killed Golden State last year and will run plenty of this year (especially once Sami Whitcomb is back).
Good size and mobility for that size defensively, some rim protection and perimeter engagement. Can stand to communicate more defensively (eg. when wing dropping on roll) and can get too square in up-to-touch screen coverage, leading to pockets, but lot of growth potential.
Murjunatu Musa had a huge and-one offensive rebound to seal the win, with a neat boxout-beating technique (that I'll maybe talk about down the line).

The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!
