Ily shoots the best percentage from three in the WNBA and the Valks run a 3 point based offense. Her and Ceci, if healthy, aren't getting played out of the rotation even if we are losing games because of their defense. Rupert is a liability on that end though. It's been difficult to maintain our defensive identity with all these injuries and the pressure of finding a consistent offense. Burton's grit is ever present though.

I said beforehand that the Fever could win this game, but they couldnβt do it playing like they did on Friday vs the Sparks. Sloppy and low IQ play, just outdone by the Sparksβ sloppy and low IQ play. That doesnβt fly vs. the Valks and it didnβt. That zone was a disaster, they gave us and-1s left and right, and their offense looked stunted. They didnβt get 25 more FGAs to bail them out like they did on Friday.
