"It clanged off the back of the rim. A few minutes later, she let her second shot, another 3-pointer, fly. Miss. In a span of 1 minute and 50 seconds to close the first half, Sabally had a 3-pointer blocked, missed a layup, had a layup blocked and missed a 3-pointer. Halftime didn't help. Sabally missed all nine of her shots across the second half and overtime."
"Sabally caught the ball after crossing half court. Her orange shoes clashed against the seafoam green edge of the Liberty logo at Barclays Center. The Mercury led by two in the second quarter of Game 2. Sabally dribbled toward the top of the key. Breanna Stewart backed up and left Sabally with a little too much space. Sabally set her feet and launched a deep 3-point shot over the tips of Stewart's outstretched fingers. Sabally celebrated as the ball swished through the net."
Satou Sabally struggled mightily in Game 1, going 2-for-17 from the field and 1-for-10 from three while suffering multiple blocked attempts and nine consecutive second-half and overtime misses. Phoenix, the fourth seed, lost to New York 76-69 at PHX Arena. That performance was Sabally's worst shooting night since joining the Mercury from the Dallas Wings in an offseason trade. Two days later at Barclays Center, Sabally returned to form, catching the ball after crossing half court and drilling a deep 3 over Breanna Stewart with Phoenix leading by two in the second quarter. In Game 2 she shot 5-for-11 from the field.
