Adelaide Lightning v UC Capitals | Full Basketball Game | WNBL 2023/2024 Season
An epic game three and Southside are through to their third Grand Final in Four Seasons Reed sweeps on the crow massive basket Reed you are kidding me and the fire burned brightest Townsville a wnbl champions for the fourth time your Sunday Hoops in Adel sees one of the League’s big names return to
Action on her home floor Steph talber to sued up for the first time this season and almost exactly 12 months to the day since she sustained that knee injury this is one of the this is a battle of some of the brightest young talent in the league with the UC Capitals in town
Looking to silence this lightning home crowd round 13 of the signate wnbl continues Liam Ellison and Lissa Anderson with you on the call Lissa welcome thanks Liam great to be here this one is going to be fun the lightning and the Caps as we mentioned two squads with plenty of young Talent
Plenty of young local talent at that and we will see of course Steph talber return to action huge news how exciting that we get to see Steph Talbert back before the end of the season what a horrible injury to go through I personally great that they’ve given her
12 months because she has such a big long career ahead of her and the F window this is just a really good step towards that Olympic campaign so really excited to see her out there Jade Melbourne as well is back in Action today after missing the last outing due
To managing a minor leg injury of course her next stop will be Brazil with the Opals Olympic qualifiers and talber she is of course a former League MVP she is one of our stars here in this league and around the world and it could be a massive 2024 for her potentially not a
Bad little player to have coming off your bench today is it I mean it’s a shame that ezy ball a isn’t out there so we can see them go but I mean what a great job by Adelaide to get uh a game like uh Townsville couple of last last
Round without izy B in there for most of the second half so Adelaide will be feeling pretty good about how they’re going at the moment and now they’ve got tber coming in off the bench that was a a huge Victory really might just be the upset of the Season potentially
Townsville still on top of the ladder with a game in hand this is how things Shape Up here for your Sunday afternoon the Flames are in some hot form Lissa they really are I mean what a great win against Flyers they really needed that and that just gives them that one well
Two game buffer um in that top four so all the teams meeting each other in the next couple of rounds which is going to really shape the finals beautifully and just that fever window might just allow a couple of teams to get some injuries rested and come in Shar for the finals
Which again is really exciting it looks like it could come down to maybe the final couple of rounds for some of these sides even Bendigo winners of two straight games in hand as well and not out of the piter this is how Nat Hurst team will line up as well this afternoon
And Talbert of course returning will come off the bench yeah like we were just saying really good punch to come off the bench who wouldn’t enjoy that so and look it’ll just allow a little bit of the steam to go out of the game for her before she comes back in under the
Radar um but that lineup as just mentioned really got the B the job done with easy ball a in that second half against Townsville so hopefully they can bring that momentum into this starting five here and get a good start in front of their home crowd taking no risks with
Izzy ball a this afternoon who had a ankle twist in that win over the Townsville fire and this is the UC caps with Jade Melbourne returning to the lineup today and obviously that is a huge in and really sees him with a good chance to maybe take a victory here
Today Lissa AB I mean look everyone who’s watched CRA play this season knows about Jade Melbourne she’s just had a really fantastic season and they look they no mistake they’ve um they struggled to score a little bit without her last round you lose 18.1 points and 7.1 assists and she’s averaging nearly
Five rebounds a game I mean that’s a big out so it’ll be a big difference to have her back in today the team that plays with a lot of youthful energy the UC caps and of course round 13 is fighting period poverty round in Australia an astounding one in five women have to
Improvise on period products this is not okay you can help make a difference today by purchasing a pair of bloody good socks from share the dignity. org. do your part in helping to fight period poverty get on board their website and see how you can show your support here
We go tip off not far away Brianna Turner set to take it for the Adela lightning she has had a terrific season as well yeah just look having a look at her stats there she she look she’s up and down with her scoring we all know she can but she’s averaging nearly 14
Rebounds a game she’s just such a Workhorse massive difference for Adelaide in the middle there and doing such a great job she sure is first in rebounds first in blocks third in steals defensive for and Alex sharp will contest the tip for the UC caps as round 1 continues of the signate
Wnbl and Adel have first possession here Taylor Brazzle running point to start us off Willoughby on the wing here’s Turner Mansfield off the handoff is in the post 5 Seconds Mansfield’s got to go from the three throw line have the first stop really patient offense then though from Adelaide
Clearly they’re looking to move the ball they did that they didn’t probably needed to be a little more aggressive but really great ball movement here is Jade Melbourne straight away aggression driving left and draws contact Jade Melbourne straight away found her way to the strike immediately straight into the game makes their presence
Known I don’t mind those kicks as well Lissa yeah just eyeing them off myself there with the socks great combo very bright and a player who as we know plays with so much flare just missing on the first there are a pair of those bloody good socks as well for fighting period
Poverty rounds and Melbourne makes on the second a CS with a press here and they’ve got the steel manga Melbourne extra pass in the corner manga for three F on the o glass adade on the ropes here on this trip Melbourne again attacking on the right hand this time
She’s so Dynamic isn’t she and she is getting to that point where you really can’t force her one way or another she’s really worked on that will be in the keyway Sharp driving on Bourne contest was all clean just rattles out Valor was battling there with Willoughby and the whistle
From the referee oh that was such a good block out by Willoughby too I as a coach you you you do get frustrated at those calls but at the same time the the fact that she was doing such a good job blocking out you’re not you’re going to
Take that foul you’ll live with it yeah absolutely sideline ball capitals he’s sharp for three nice start for camra they’re just moving the ball so well and making that extra pass Six nothing opening Mansfield jel and Willoughby opts to pull up for three herself why
Not why not hand off me I’ll shoot it it’s a nice way to open the scoring account for Adelaide the 36 is Arena melder now sharp for three good on her second attempt manga with a Hustle but Turner able to clean it up is he born attacking just mishandling MCO up capitals will
Reset Jade melbour Razzle defending the rock great pass Better Block Mansfield inside Turner working on Alex Fowler not quite in the post for a team with the size that camber is and you look at their lineup here they just do such a great job on the rebounds both
Ends Jake Melbourne with the basketball releasing Fowler to the rack and we’re headed the other way so you can see cber really really going at that middle pick and roll middle action there just with Jade Melbourne working off that she does such a good job didn’t quite pay off that time
But it’s got them off to a really nice start nice defense from Willoughby as well moments ago really good help Taylor Brazzle big opportunity for her this afternoon with ball lace out of the lineup inside the ark and makes it brazel’s having a fantastic season really good like great to see such a
Young player rewarded with this starting rle and clearly she’s enjoying it too doing a really good job up F at top of the keyway Melbourne now flipped over to Sharp who immediately attacks on Willoughby not quite turn up good R extra pass forwards and it’s Bourne on the end of it Bourne
Does a great job on transition She’s Always a Target always running the floor hard seven zip run for Adela to see them back in the lead sharp into the corner as manga gets Mansfield off the dribble now at sharp from the same spot credit that basket to manga
Beautiful shot fake absorbed the D found the open player really nicely done it’s been good to watch early Brazzle unlucky and it’ll be camra basketball yeah both teams starting quite nicely here even though Adelaide had a bit of a shaky couple of first possessions both teams looking really good
Here seen some flowing offense from both sides manga’s been a big part of that we see Jemma Potter into the game for manga again she another one off an ACL injury and I think that means Steph Talbert has officially entered the game listen to that Steph Talbert [Applause] returning willby will take a
Break completing a 12-month return for Steph here’s Melbourne stepping through on Brazzle mans Fields combining again with Bourne great movement from the lightning yeah really nicely done there great pick and roll great feed by Mansfield Melbourne Ops to pull the trigger Turner controlling the glass as she so often
Does straight down the lane fumbles here’s Melbourne slingshot in the other way for camra flipped over to Fowler the Coya will let it fly beautiful shot when she catches it in Rhythm you’ve really got to guard her from the three three triples now already for camra yeah they’re letting it Fly
And why not they’re playing really relaxed basketball which is always really pretty to watch extra pass finding good looks they have the early lead here talber for her first points there’s that experience straight in recognizing a smaller guard on her great sealing side great finish that will feel really good after
12 months off won’t it first touch first points Melbourne down the keyway adad again control it Mansfield probing attacking on potto and gets the call trading the lead here early days and here’s those points again from Steph Talbert can feel the excitement in the building when she entered the
Game yeah she count her first points I’ve got tingles for her like look I understand the ACL injury I’ve done too myself they’re horrible and for her to like so you just you know after the work you’ve done to come back at this level it takes so much work and it’s really
It’s a horrible injury in rehab to come back from so really I think the whole league would be so relieved to see her back in there so much work that we don’t get to see for that moment to come to the Forefront as mansfields ties it up F now it’s Potter on the cut trying to muscle back inside for two another player that’s come back from her second ACL injury I mean it’s so good to see these girls out there that’s a great cut by Jemma and great finish she has had a a tough journey in
Some respects she has injury yeah totally agree having a great season with his camber team and she makes on on the three throw five and a half gone here in the first quarter Talbert just stepped on the sideline three-point ball game here J Clark has checked in the UC
Capitals another one that’s given them some great minutes this season getting better every week impressive Off the Bench yeah I think both these coaches deserve a lot of credit for for really giving the opportunity to so many young players and you can really see the rewards coming
Through Clark found it a way to Bunton he went straight to the cup have found some good pieces from the younger athletes Talbert B defending the ball and the roll is turn both teams struggling to guard that middle pick and roll so that’s probably something that’s going to be discussed
At the next time out poter immediately lets it Fly Bon battling with Willoughby will say it down this ENT again you’ve got to give CRA so much credit they just get so many second third fourth looks from their efforts on the offensive rebounds third in the league in rebounds
CRA capitals this season Potter has space to fire great Rhythm great finish capitals are locked in from three here early days it just goes to show the difference that Jade Melbourne makes doesn’t it everyone’s all of a sudden back in their positions the ball’s being moved she takes a lot of
Attention which really does make this team tick Turner fake spin move on Bunton and she’ll go to the line I really love that Turner that second that’s twice now that she’s really tried to attack in that low block off from that short Corner which is good signs
That she’s trying to be more aggressive on the offensive end absolutely highlighted her defensive prowess if she really gets this part of her game going she is going to be even more of a force she’s just a stat sheet like you you’ve reeled it off before she
Gets it done in every category she’s such a such an important player to four-point Game whistle first got a reset here 20 play 16 320 remaining in the first quarter referees with a quick discussion and it will be cber basketball Co inbounds to manga who wants some
Movement Potter has Bunton with a pick driving out Turner and just lost it along the Baseline Bri Turner bash him into the ball game as well here’s talber already scored once puts it on the de and manga that time with a good defense yeah nice defense there by manga Coya now it’s Clark 10 seconds to work with manga entry pass bunson on the low
Block Potter’s there with 4 seconds left hand hook shot follows her own Miss lightning starting to put together some defensive stops in a row here talber pulls the trigger for three so good that she’s just not hesitating at all you can clearly see the work she’s put in to get back
Here looks like she has a miss a beat doesn’t it the way she started terrific be pass to aoya saw a foul call against Adelaide that’s Halbert three ball don’t the bench love it as they should really great to see the crowd the team everyone right behind tbet here in such a big
[Applause] return Baseline ball camera J Clark at the top bonson Solid screen there on Basham Potter moving it around the perimeter Sharp’s got to make her moov strike to the rack for two great team offense nice quick movement the Caps found the lane to the rim Willoughby connected on a three from
That spot hesitates good for two yeah great penetration straight down the middle obviously Cambro wouldn’t have liked that they allowed that middle penetration there great job Willoughby sharp with some aggression now it’s Potter again who’s having a great first quarter eight to her name absolutely Gemma Potter’s movement off
The ball is key right now she’s just she’s creating a bit of Havoc straight through the middle of the KE finding those gaps and they’re finding her Willoughby Twan game with Turner she puts the aggression to work again that strap down the middle again great finish both offenses have been
Harming here early days Lusa yeah both or moving screen cord there goal against barnson she doesn’t look too pleased about it but few players are yeah that was that’s a tough one it’s that secondary screen it always does look like she’s moving and she probably just did get her on the side
There so Bunton will take a break with two personals less than a minute remaining in this first quarter and JMA Potter with the defense she’s certainly having a great first quarter isn’t she having an impact M’s back out there sessing Taylor Brazzle in defense in a Trouble lightning with a chance to wrestle back the lead once again really nice even contest so far anyone who would have thought this game would mean nothing to these teams you only have to watch his first quarter to know they’re leaving it all out there which is great high standard so
Far born for three great block out there by Munger again shot clock ahead of the game clock mour happy to let some time wind down mour attacking on Turner here’s manga 8 seconds the shot clock and manga gets it to go great finish there three and a
Half for brazzil one last T and that will do it for the end of one high scoring first quarter here de Talbert on a return has five points in the capitals lead by three at quarter Time [Applause] Use that momentum and power you’ve created to explode out on your first dribble okay we’ve got two more one sometimes as women we look for Perfection as opposed to execution work ethic is important when the players are 4 years younger [Applause] Than 26 plays 23 here in adelay the capitals with an early lead and Steph Talbert returning 12 months after that ACL injury has been great off the bench in the first quarter hit a three scored on her first touch as well of the ball Five Points and great
To see her straight back into action Lissa it sure is and great to see her as sharp as what she is um it’s really nice start and great to see her um starting this second quarter here so that was a really fearsome first quarter from both teams some great offense from both teams
I think defense would have been the discussion in both huddles I would say the lightning shooting 60% on the field and the Caps just below 50 scoring opening believe this so far Alex sharp has eight points for the UC capitals and Jim Potter as well eight points and a
Steal off the bench has been terrific in 6 minutes she really has and if you look at both team stats here it’s just a really good spread other than you’ve mentioned that um sharp and Potter both have eight points each but you’ve still got four points Four Points four points
And same with Adelaide you’ve got a really good spread so both teams don’t really have a go-to here everyone’s doing their bit Adelaide already with a six different scorers at this early stage highlighting your point here’s manga Fowler battling with Turner down low Melbourne just too much on it right idea
Just that’s yeah that’s a tough angle good start to defensive lead of the quarter for adite Willoughby now it’s Talbert again just had a foot inside the arc sharp there to pull it down one of the league leaders and rebounders inside Fowler gets the call
And she’ll have to earn him at the line really good seal down low there by Alex fer and I’m again really impressed by the ball movement camber have clearly done a lot of work on the fundamental such as blocking out the extra pass the high low the seal they’re working really nicely
Together they certainly are 26 points on the board after one as Fowler just missing on the first she gets the first points of the second Willoughby had seven opening quarter points as well brazzil passed ahead to talber showing that athleticism follows are on Miss on the o glass positive
Science got you she works hard but Alex F is up to the challenge then sharp that’s a great look from three doesn’t she look great in Rhythm I mean they’re just shooting shooting the ball so relaxed five of nine from three is a team of the
Caps inside is bour Fowler poked at it willby able to recover is he born again third look at this possession for the lightning and Willoughby puts it home and she is into double figures that’s generally what happens if you don’t get this uncharacteristic there of camber not to come up with those rebands
But they gave them three attempts and eventually they got hurt manga water getting some early minutes in this second quarter driving on talber trying to create some space Sharp crashing the glass yeah that’s a really tough take there there by JMA Potter unlay basketball Shar will be up in
Defense willes four of five from the field so far talber picks up a dribble need some assistance via Willoughby 9 seconds against talber from mid-range rattles out Melbourne’s got three dimes already H sharp on just earlier for three and same result for CRA they are hot to start the second quarter here
Alex sharp is certainly hot she’s having a fantastic game from the three in particular already up to 15 points in the game Alex sharp four of five from long range Melbourne has hit her with a couple of Dimes to set her up and you are spot on the wrist as she
Certainly is hot Alex sharp to start this one this time out is brought to you by signant our long-term supporters of share the dignity and are committed to helping end period poverty they’re donating $1 from every product sold on their website from now until the 31st of

Thank her teammate Alex Shar for knocking those threes down she’s having a beautiful game so far just she looks in Rhythm relaxed that ring is looking like a hula hoop to her right now so I think she would be a massive discussion point to Adelaide lightning right now
Someone’s got to get on her immediately or we could be in for a very fun night watching Alex could be it’s been inside outside offense if you like for camra kicking out and finding open Shooters they’re hot from three but so much of it has been I think quality looks it’s just
Beautiful offense to watch when you see the ball move to everybody and everyone feels a part of it everyone gets to touch the leather it is such a nice game it’s it’s really nice to be out there and be part of that and it just looks pretty watching them right now the
Ball’s moving beautifully see how Adela can respond Mansfield in Melbourne Turner top of the Ark cber defending the handoff back in the hands of Mansfield with 9 seconds Willoughby dumped down low mismatch but Melbourne poked It Out 3 seconds Mansfield’s got a fire from three a foul on the rebounding
Contest goes against Jade Melbourne another blockout foul so again oh you take it because I mean you can see on the replay here just doing such a good job but Bourne really crashing those offensive boards and putting Jade Melbourne Under Pressure there inside to Willoughby on the block from Melbourne
There you go great D she looks to turn the Jets on Sharp with the hot hands and offensive foul bne has drawn it again I don’t know I think Alex you could even see that she should have just caught and shoot she’s feeling it just shoot that one now goes on Melbourne as Clark will come back into the game yeah that hurts that’s two really quick fouls on Jade Melbourne there Christen V taking no risks less than three minutes gone in this second quarter perhaps this is an Avenue to the lightning Mansfield Willoughby top of the Ark driving left
Euro stepping through camra control the glass sharp inside Fowler with position Fowler’s 62 but she uses her I mean which is’s a decent size but she is a fourman in this league at 62 which is not huge and she just uses her body inside really well very effectively Z
Bourne Brazzle down low Turner really showed some aggression so far in this game yeah um Cambridge is getting caught behind there on a mismatch and adelade to their credit punished it remains a seven-point game aoya wide open up oh could find the rim that time
Again look at that extra pass B having a good year shooting from three but snatching down manga the rebound Nicole Munga they just I sound like a broken record but credit to camra on the boards they are a great hustle team you can just see here they active
Hands they’re up they’re all on the same page that’s just a really nice move but overall that’s really good D and that’s just great offense a terrific move from Izzy Bourne aoya trading basket at the moment in his second quarter Alex sharp being hot with 15 and adds to her
Tally she’s feeling it keep going away absolutely six of nine now great great split line D there this will here from the ref so the capitals Come Away with the basketball nine-point lead camber is certainly just they’ve got some momentum here they’re all on the same page at both ends of the floor

AU caps at 15 of 29 from the field CRA 12 12 of 26 pretty high scoring gam of Hoops so far was a lot of time remaining in this first half Lissa rers there is there’s plenty of time here so a nice just a bit of a settler timeout here just to
Obviously discuss probably Alex sharp um and what they’re running offensively they look a little bit rattled CRA are all up and in they’re all on the same page with their pick and roll they’re fighting over screens and then when they’re switching it’s really aggressive really active hands so I think Adelaide
This is just to settle them and work out what they want to do offensively but they’ve obviously got to get some stops here 40 points with 5 and a half to go in the second quarter is not what you want defensively at all certainly not camra a team that averages 75 points per
Game certainly on their way to eclipsing that they lead the rebounding contest as well unsurprisingly from the eye test they’ve been crashing the glass as a team which has been impressive it really is but it’s been impressive All Season every time I’ve watched camber play I’ve been impressed with how hard they work
And how hard they get after it I mean that’s how they’ve beaten some of those top teams they’ve just purely outworked them because they’re not a big team certainly with probably the length and the keyway in this one here’s manga What a fine sharp on the cut and
The block from Turner great pass great block Albert did well to keep it in bounds as well Mansfield probing down low Bourne has the mismatch turning on the right hand two shots to come that’s actually I’ll be watching that really closely um Steph tber and um sharp on each other what a
Great match up that’s just two really tall athletic um Dynamic guards going at it like for like matchup isn’t it and a great challenge for alic Shar Bourne missing on the first hasn’t Bourne had a great season for her first year in the wnbl she’s every week just getting better and
Better she really has with Alex fer as well in the opposition be in that conversation as well as another great first time addition he sharp fer on the perimeter now it’s Potter and great D from Mansfield maybe the lightning in transition here turn up on the catch and
The finish I just love how Mansfield just saw the mismatch and just threw that up in the air and let someone as athletic as Brianna Turner just do the rest of the work that was beautiful to watch down low aoya Talbert defending the Rock and the block for Steph
Talber stepping through and Talbert has been fouled nice little stomach slide there finish too Talbert what defense and she looks like she hasn’t missed a beat hopefully we see a nice little land there there it is that’s graceful that’s a nice still photo if you could catch it keeping away of this capitals
Lead tal butt good on her first three throw attempt was Fe seconds last year and she sustained that ACL injury against the UC capitals almost 12 months exactly to the day that she makes a return 2020 Susie B Susie bovik MVP winner six minutes gone in this second quarter CAU
Up Clark was cutting Baseline whle came first yeah they got the C the foul Cod there but you can see that was a really nice timeout by Nat Hurst you’ve seen that they’ve last three possessions they’ve gotten really good stops and really good looks offensively so they’ve made a couple of adjustments
Here defensively and Camber have struggled to score the last two possessions J Clark with a fresh 14 to work with into the Potter on the wing now Fowler in the corner Turner putting the length to work in Adelaide’s defense suffocating on that possession much much better I I really
Love like both teams are getting caught behind the post a lot Mansfield got switched onto AO then and just really pushed her out of that key did a great job on the turnover and it’s Liz Tonks off the pine with the steel Turner and Mansfield combining nice hes the dribble lost Clark just
Missing that was a nice move fouler Clark now posting up he’s a Coya up Top let find the Munga with 9 seconds Cade still giving away nothing so far as Clark with the fall away yeah much better defense by Adelaide much better crowd cheering every time Steph talber goes near it Turner will be opting to back it out mans Fields wants to take on Fowler
Off the dribble three really nice back to a one-point ball game the lightning would have lik to have seen Brianna Turner really try and attack CRA there they’re switching a lot and getting caught with mismatches and back herself inside more but they came up with a great basket none the less try to
Clock how like with an 80 run here Fowler penetrate kick out Potter CRA have done this so well today but it won’t go down that time another great stop by adelay there talber last touched off the lightning the last three on Mansfield was assessed a two yeah camber have done a good job
Scouting that Talbert tends to like to go left um on the fast break so you can just see there that’ll look one or two games and that’ll be like the Steph tber of old but that’s the only that’s probably the one area that kind of takes a little bit
Of time to get back into it no matter how hard you train nothing compares to an actual game but God he looks good out there twoo ball game in this time out brought to you by Ford Aussie Hoops the perfect introduction to the world of basketball for kids aged 5 to 10 years
To find out more visit Aussie hoops. basketball to register and that HT I think would have to be a lot happier with her team’s defense since the last time out Lissa well they haven’t scored since the last timeout so I mean really good whatever adjustments they made you
Can clearly see they’re a lot more aggressive and a couple of baskets will do that for you but great job defensively have not scored since the last timeout so now all of a sudden 39 points even though that’s more than what you’d allow at halim or want from halime
Now it’s looking a lot more respectable sharp Leading The Way with 17 just Willoughby has 10 for the Adel lightning shooting 48% as a team adelade Capital shooting 45 the rebounding column as well they’ve started to star me that influence just a little bit 18 to 15 in favor of the
Caps yes I I I personally think Adelaide have done a really a much better job of blocking out they started the game really well on the block out and Camber were just working so hard they just would come up with it but the last two three possessions particularly since the
Timeout adeler just really refining all those fundamentals see if that Trend continues here camra having to deal with some full court defense here button doubled J Clark will start the set for the UC caps foul up another late shot clock situation for camra hesitates driving out Turner and
That is another block to her name she’s got three on the fast break talber that’s Adelaide’s game right there get a good stop and they are running come all the way back to tie it up here in Adela now a 90 run sharp spinning out of trouble sharp had the space to fire
She’s been hot from three can Adela Take the Lead here Willoughby again the Euro Step nearly got the friendly roll F rolled it manga asking the question of Adelaide great battle with Willoughby and Fowler going on inside there Clark oh the whistle so she will earn him at the
Stripe refs are letting them play out there which is always fun to watch I don’t most would have seen Willoughby switching on to F then and just again fer does such a good job sealing in there but Willoughby looks really physically strong and just would not allow
It t will take a break with nine points in 10 minutes welcome back TBS welcome back indeed great start as Clark makes on the three throw Clark’s giving them some really good the cap some really good minutes here and she breaks the scoring drought yeah that’s their first two
Points since the 5 and a half minute Mark so really good turnaround by Adelaide here will be great ball movement Mansfield wide open couldn’t find NY on that time great ball game here for your Sunday Aro in the sign wnbl you’re not going to get a better
Look than that and it just unfortunately didn’t drop 50 seconds remaining in the first half fouler manga thought about pulling the trigger bunson came left with a Screen F puts it on the deck gets around Bourne can’t finish great job Alex Bunton coming up with that possession there another chance for Sharp Fowler inside quarter deflection adelay with a another stop shot clock off Mansfield will let time wind down a chance to tie or take the lead into the halftime
Break as bunter now defending the ball and not quite 3 seconds Mansfield not allowing it to go up and CRA will take the lead into the sheds at the halftime break 41 plays 39 here in ad and a great final five or so minutes to that quarter for the Adelaide lightning
And they will go into the break with some confidence I think Lissa that was really much better basketball by the lightning in those last 5 and a half minutes both ends of the floor I mean their offense was absolutely 100% driven by their defense their defense post that
Timeout they made adjustments and they got to run off those stops sharp has been hot in the first half 17 points four of six from three Willoughby has been great on both ends of the floor I thought Lissa I totally agree she’s been really solid both ends she’s showing how
Strong she is how versatile she is she’s I mean they’re able to switch a lot defensively just cuz she can really hold her own down in the in the low block but she’s creating some issues for CRA particularly on that middle penetration so cra will need to make a few
Adjustments on her in the second half talet Turner combining Talbert’s been great on a return and we a Turner just doing what we’ve become accustomed to she’s played all 20 minutes has three blocks eight points six boards and a couple of Dimes that’s a great first
Half I mean I think I called her a stat sheet earlier she really does light it up she gets it done across every category and I mentioned that really like that she’s trying to be a little bit more aggressive offensively which if she starts doing that she’s going to be
Very very hard to guard because she really does um attract a lot of attention out there there’s your halftime stats and your leaders as well and it’s Alex sharp of course 17 Talbert’s got nine in 10 minutes a terrific return from her and the first quarter from Jemma Potter was important
For the camra Caps as Jade Melbourne had to sit with two personal stick around as we hear from some of the stars of our league about fighting period poverty round the importance of period poverty can’t be underplayed the fact we get to raise awareness for it and support women

Support in the second half not far away here Liam mellison and Lissa Anderson with you on the call two-point ball game after a three got corrected to a two at the halftime break 41 Place 39 in favor of the UC caps this one has been tight
Plenty of lead changes but it’s the aday lightning I thought who really got things motoring towards the end of the second quarter Alex sharp is 6 points our player of the half Lissa and this is how she got it done mostly from three and off really beautiful ball
Movement so credit to her teammates as well for finding her I mean you just see that pass there from manga I mean she has to make that for Alex to be able to shoot the ball so they’re all getting to the the right receiver spots but they’re
Making that extra pass which is was really beautiful to watch got 10 assists as a team and the ball movement has been pretty for the caps but lightning really they were able to sort of curb that influence weren’t they in the final five or so yeah the
Last half of that second quarter really belonged to Adelaide there and you can I mean you can see a couple of really standouts for me is that Brandon Turner’s already got six rebounds as does Alex fer for the cap so that’s a really good job on on the boards heading
For double figure rebounds Talbert’s first game back in only 10 minutes nine points and five rebounds is a really that’s a really promising exciting sight so this second half is built up to be a really great contest and I think it’ll come down to who steps up defensively
Both these teams are clearly feeling really relaxed offensively they need to play some D Izzy Bourne was awesome in round 12 making the team of the week and she led the way in that victory over the Townsville fire with 24 points and four boards Lissa and importantly when Ballas
Went down she was massive down the stretch with her shot making she really was and and Townsville are not small um so Bourne really needed to step up there and she did so bringing some really good form into this round as well and as we’ve seen seen today she looks good out
There and yeah looking forward to seeing her second half but a great job for for her in round 12 three of five from the field so far today for seven points I he born and we will see if she has maybe another big second half in store here in this one one possession
Game Turner has been terrific as has Joselyn Willoughby they’ve had really a pretty even spread of contributors ad alide they really have and look the stats are against them here and that they’re not predominantly a particularly good third quarter or second half team in fact they’re the worst performing
Team in the third quarter only averaging 16.4 points per game but Steph Talbert might have something to say about that and look I think Adelaide are as The Season’s gotten on are looking more and more um consistent together so we’ll see if that stats holds up here in this
Third quarter and and CRA as well are um look Jade Melbourne only played N9 minutes in that first half I don’t know if that was because of two fouls because there’s something not quite right so she would have had a big difference in that second quarter as well but she’s back
Out now which is good to see great to see her starting the third here and we are underway Bourne aday first chance here Bourne now in the post working on Melbourne has the hard advantage in turn of the one-handed fock if you like left-handed one handed that was very
Nice that’s an impressive way to bring up 10 great hiin Bri Turner inside to Sharp H’s got the job this time yeah so they’ve gone with a smaller guard on Alex he to kind of get a little bit more up and in it seems but both teams are still switching you can see
Fowler giving a great Target inside Melbourne had to pull the trigger with the shot clock expiring tied ball game turn is in the post on manga driving Baseline deflection from Melbourne yeah great hands there 10 seconds to work with is’s that Turner finish again that is very nice impressive she
Makes that look very easy it is not Willoughby had the angle for a moment the whistle came first and it may be number three on Jade Melbourne so Baseline ball outlay Melvin has indeed been assessed with her third person or willough be slicing through the trees she has done that really well
Tonight putting together a nice game here’s Willoughby here’s Munga the opposing 33s Fowler Melbourne has turn of their defending aoer feet set in the corner yeah we said in the first half when her feet are set she has got a beautiful stroke um really nice follow through great
Finish second three of the game Willoughby what a f to Turner what a pass great cut by Brianna Turner two G she moves well off the ball like she just knew a teammate would be there Melbourne hesitates gets to her spot and misses yeah that deserved
Better than that was a really nice move an Fields Back in the hands of Willoughby Turner puts it on the deck and has stolen it out of the hands of fer extra chance Willoughby for three what a great play 15 to her name Joselyn Willoughby Willoughby and Turner work really nicely
Together they really do had some great combinations to start this second half in particular sharp trying to get the momentum back for camra 5 minutes remaining in the second quarter it was a nine-point advantage to the UC capitals Mansfield it’s hacking the cup not that Time Theo again for her third three willby will slow it up here for Adelaide bour trying to get to a spot on the low block great finish that’s a really tough finish too wide over the outstretched arm of the defender Melbourne going to get involved here in the second half dancing along
The Baseline flipped out Munga for three Kyer had a hand to it the Turner able to control for the lightning and they are in control here in the second half so far they certainly do look a lot more setled and together here picks her pocket this could be a
Chance to correct that Trent manga extra pass sharp in Rhythm great blockout Again by Willoughby don’t they just have all the answers at the moment I’m just really impressed with the like blocking out split line just the digging off they’re they’re not standing behind the posters much so far Adelaide they’re a
Lot more aggressive defensively it’s good to see man Fields 5 Seconds B lost her with a spin move that was such a nice move too that one probably deserved more as well yeah unlucky for Izzy Bourne Melbourne what’s the screen from F wants another one this will be an interesting battle between Willoughby Melbourne steps back for three that was nice Jade Melbourne with the confidence gives yourself a little come on there that’s fir up Brazzle driving hard of the cup back to a three-point game
Sharp Fall Away Jay doesn’t get the friendly rle five minutes gone in this third quarter Lauren Mansfield controlling his possession trying to fight around the Turner screen that’s going to be a foul I really love how hard she worked then though was not taking no for an answer
Oh Manga she just works so hard she really does let do so many of these caps players as Brazzle will take a break oh she’s had a big assignment that she’s done a great job so far on um on Alex sharp talber back out there Turner top of the Panet area
Mansfield jab step three just short looks straight one target my respect Melbourne was a good find that was a really good look there trying to link up with mon Aoya there’s tox as well as entered the freight Manfield waiting for talber to present and now she will go to work on the left hand how a few rattle out here to start the second half both teams play a very similar brand so this is a lot of fun to watch
They both both love to really run off any kind of stop or run whenever they can it’s been a high paced game hasn’t it yeah you can see the subs coming in and out and players going out actually breathing hard because they are it’s such a fast-paced game moving up and
Down Kyer off the inbounds he’s got eight mans fields that could have been danger there to Jade Melbourne so that’s a really good deflection by Fowler some smarts the kick ball maybe she was on an island wasn’t she Jade Melbourne here’s Turner and again it’s talber in the post
Look how strong she is and this time making no mistake that’s a really smart play when you’ve got someone the size as a guard as what Steph Talbert is it’s really smart that they’re going to her inside such a tough cover they will keep going to that you’d suspect Sharp
Great pass all on the roll and the whistle going on T butt that’ll be a second there’s some really fun battles going on out out there like um Steph tber was frustrated with that call but the Caps did a really good job on that pick and roll F shooting
Two CRA shooting five of eight as the team f unlucky on the [Applause] second he’s Mansfield oh Talbert attacking on aoer on the float of that’s short Melbourne there to retrieve it what’s ahead for camra great step up screen by h of the screen and roll to the cup that was really nice
There’s that pick and roll game again Lissa well that was just a really good transition step up screen and Jade Melvin came off hard draws the defender F does such a good job in her position inside Crossing and driving right onepoint ball game Turner gets the shot away and rolls home
Great job there by Turner six of seven from the field now Brianna Turner really good to see her that aggressive Melbourne again feeding Fowler call here on the lightning Alex Fowler is working extremely hard out there every screen she’s hitting she’s rolling she’s presenting inside and she’s getting
Herself a really well earned break great minutes by Alex F yeah well fed on the thick of everything over the last three or four minutes is sharp there she is first point of the second half they going to look to get her more involved here in the third here’s Talber Turner was there for the screen Willoughby huge so far today this time top of the keyway J it’s back On INE 50 remaining in this third sharp saw the opening just Strong who can break this deadlock at the moment Turner picked up a dribble down low talber has Potter there mused back inside and did well love the bounce pass in there by Brianna Turner great decision and then just you can just see Talbert’s footwork there that was really strong
Again another great contest so many tall athletic guards in both these teams making for some really good battles has been some awesome matchups to watch and T butt that time was almost too far onto the backboard and a way back inside to draw the foul be some um sore bodies after this
Game L I think so Albert’s got six boards and 11 Points Melbourne sharp looking to attack with a screen great pass and Turner again another block she’s just a blocking Miss she times those blocks so beautifully averaging 2.1 per game this season she’s got four so far in this contest I’m loving how many Smiles are on players faces out there in both teams they’re actually enjoying themselves out there which I know is a might be a weird comment but they clearly relaxed but working hard it’s showing in the way they’re playing out of Lane with an early opportunity from three that’s a
Fun transition basket rewarded off some great defense Melbourne capsu look to get back to playing their way here in the second half F call here sideline possession and Willoughby will come back in for Talbert Talbert’s play the 14 minutes today limited minutes of course on return from that ACL injury and she’s been awesome see her in the fourth as
Melbourne hesitates and drives kick out Potter for three now it’s Liz TOS biggest lead in the ball game for aday it has been six points Willoughby Bourne posting up tried to get it across the Turner last touch Bunton aday with 11 seconds to work with they lead the points in the paint here
32 to8 Willoughby turn has controlled the key way nice find Tonks for three won’t go Down it’s going to be the third or fourth time it’s rimed out for out this quarter Lissa yeah look and they’re running that little Flex action really beautifully and going to some really good options but um yeah that one just few rattled in and out last look here
For camber Jade Melbourne with the basketball flipped over to Sharp 5 seconds from the elbow mid-range J won’t go and Adelaide will take the lead into three quter time 57 plays 53 here at the 36ers arena they have the advantage with 10 minutes to play here it’s going to be
The way this ball game’s gone L it’s going to be a final really fun period to come great third quarter from um Adelaide lightning to get this lead just again it’s coming from the defensive end and they’re just running cuz that is their game but I’m still really
Impressed with how the Caps are playing they play relaxed they play hard I don’t think their offense has flowed as beautifully in that third quarter and hence they haven’t their scoring hasn’t been as um easily flowing but big fourth quarter coming up anyone can win this
Game Mourne got it going with a three there she has seen 19 minutes of action with the three personals as well keep an eye on that one and Alex fer as you highlighted Lissa been working really hard and Talbert of course it really is one of the stories the story of today
Her return from a 12mon layoff due to injury has been really good if you’ve just joined us with 11 points in limited minutes Willoughby lead on the way with 15 points and sharp 16 of her 18 coming in the first half of course they’ll look to get some of their
Guns going I think here yeah you look you mentioned tber she’s um played the almost 15 minutes now and you would think she would be unrestricted minutes in her first game back and but look at I mean look at her stats 11.6 rebounds already two assists
She’s just doing such a good job and she just makes such a difference out there not just I mean she’s just physically so strong and such a presence out there at both ends but she just gives them that leadership that IQ you can see the guidance the way she reads the play she
Makes a huge difference to this team causing some matchup issues for camber as well and she will start the fourth here speaking of causing problems Willoughby and Turner I’ve been doing that for Christen V turn’s got four blocks double double All Season these two have just gotten better and better Brianna Turner has
Played in the league before but just hasn’t been um quite on song offensively but lights the rest of the stat sheet up she’s been so strong and consistent tonight but the two of them play beautifully together and Izzy bnes having another really strong game again just getting better every
Week so four-point ball game with 10 minutes of action here remaining for your Sunday hoops and camra have first possession here to start the fourth Quarter led by as much as nine points at one stage in the second quarter of the Caps now they Trail by four to start the fourth as Potter looking to start action the right way and Willoughby controlling the glass she’s so strong physically Willoughby there’s no one getting that
Ball off her once she gets two hands around it brazle Turner presents at the perimeter Willoughby causing issues off ball and that caught the kick ball off Fowler and a fresh 14 into talber Turner has 14 and eight he’s Talbert again they look to go inside and
That’s deflected off Alex fer just a really good digging there by Alex fer to help out sharp nice find Potters there again that Movement by Gemma Potter off the ball is just beautiful back to a two-point ball game Brianna Turner assessing hles there on the left wing
Willoughby was in the post go to Turner the elbow they will get to Willoughby now driving on Melbourne lost her footing no call as the shot clock buzzer expires Melbourne flipped over to Sharp she goes with the aggression straight away nice finish off the window a hang time there
By Alex sharp that’s a really tough finish over a very long Brianna Turner Talbert now Taylor Brazzle skipped over to talber who’s attacking spinning out of trouble on the Baseline clean D from the capitals Jade Melbourne at that pass inside Fowler these two have combined and plenty of occasions throughout the
Afternoon again just watch Al F’s positioning inside she does such a nice job and great job finding her Jade Melbourne Jade Melbourne’s got eight assists here and a Timeout on the floor 57 a piece 810 remaining in the fourth quarter and this time out is brought to you by booty make yourselves
Comfortable with booty discover their collection of everyday Basics and underwear including period and leak proof Styles all crafted in sustainable bamboo this Coast get on board at booty.com sponsoring the W nbl’s fighting period poverty rounds the share the dignity so a two-point ball game here 59 plays 57 in favor of the
Caps F has got seven and Jade Melbourne now up to nine dimes excuse me Lissa leading the way from the point guard position she’s only got the six points but when you’ve got the rest of your teammates scoring how especially Alex sharp on 20 and Gemma Potter
Chipping in with 10 and then the rest of them aoya has eight they’ve got a really nice spread nine assists is very very valuable she’s just moving the ball beautifully you could see that they kind of a bit stuck with her in the at the
End of that first half so you can just see in this second half how much better they move the ball with her out there this ball game is on is it ever caps will return with pot of foul of Melbourne manga in Sharp don’t forget you can up to download the lightning Z
You can play three throw to come fer finds back eye and Turner first to it had some troubles from the line today the Caps shooting 50% bour trying to find an Avenue there on Alex Balor gets the call yeah I think that would be my only
Criticism at the moment of the the Caps is that they they do get caught behind in the post and Adelaide have some really crafty players in the likes of Bourne um you’ve got I think if they’ve got to do a better job of actually fighting to
Push her off the block half to 34 front try and deny that a little bit particularly when they switching the way they are War goes two of [Applause] two tied up once again with Jade milin in [Applause] position h of the screen rolling to the bucket sharp cutting off ball Brazzle
With the steel lacing forward to tal but no one forward for adelite she goes herself and draws the foul yeah great transition take there Manga really needed to try and force her to stay on her right not let her come down the middle to her left but that’s easier said than
Done oh we suspect that she is on a minute’s restriction here in her return but might be some big minutes down the fourth for Steph talber yeah they’re also going to really want to go for this win Adelaide with only a couple of games left in the season they really want to
Finish on a strong note absolutely and win this many series against camber too at home looking for their third home win of this season both teams struggling from the free throw line here they sure are bonus points Liam bonus points got to take care of business from
The line well everyone knows you win and lose games from the free throw line it’s great job getting there but and you’ve got to make them 64% for Adelaide 50 for the caps M go sharp nearly the steal for [Applause] Brazzle how hard she works here trying
To get the ball in the post kick out manga for three and she has been a Workhorse this afternoon Alex Fowler Turner goes herself Brianna Turner is having a ball game she sure is that was beautiful now got 16 points only missed the one field goal Melbourne just
Getting out of touch there with Alex sharp right idea great back door cut just didn’t quite finish it but that move from Turner she certainly finished that that was beautiful just terrific to see the aggression she’s had attacking the GL the the rack herself Brianna Turner was probably the criticism
Earlier in the season no she such a force defensively Willoughby has Fowler there defending Mansfield ready to fire great inside outside play I mean those post speeds are like penetration it’s allowing the ball to move inside and outside and those are the threes that they tend to knock down that was really
Nice offense there by Adelaide equals that biggest lead of the game of six Melbourne back out to Fowler now Potter will pull the trigger that’s a big shot by Potter needed a response Bourne immediately the other way for Adela Melbourne in Rhythm down to Clark right look not that time of brazzil starting five today isy ball a out of action Nfield got to make a move with 5 Seconds at the line pulls up from the midrange over Alex sharp sorry l oh back at you so exciting I that was such a tough shot there by Mansfield it was a tough shot here’s Jade Melbourne Potter looking for back-to-back threes chaos see Sharp
Foul think it’s on Brian Turner who’s only got the one personal yeah it’s an unfortunate one but you’ve got to call it it was accidental on a I think tripped on her foot here but if it makes a player lose possession you’ve got to call it y yeah definitely incidental brazle will
Take a spill halfway through this fourth quarter back in the hands of Melbourne Fowler for three so that one’s strong Adel had doing a really good job not allowing as much inside presence in the last few possessions from camber and you can see they’re firing away from outside they’re
Shooting a little bit tired or someone’s opened a door and a gust of wind is coming on those last three threes but C just are not shooting the ball as well from outside and Adelaide are really pushing them out there Mansfield driving on Clark and again they will head through the three throw
Line as opposed to the other end where Adelaide are really attacking the glass and doing a great job this will be trip number 15 and 16 through the line in the game Manfield obviously a great three throw shooter you think back to the first quarter Lissa where the Caps were really
Hot from three Alex sharp was four of five from long range at one point and now n of 28 they’ve really gone cold from Beyond The Arc yeah and I think they need to recognize that that doesn’t mean don’t take the shots but some of the threes they’re taking now are just
Way too early they need to be there’s so much time in this ball game they need to be disciplined and patient get the shots they were getting in the first half so you can see here oh that’s a great move by Melbourne oh Melbourne on the reverse won’t get the roll Fowler rebounding
Contest and forces an extra possession I was just saying camber really need to be patient that was a great move but didn’t quite finish it but as always they come up with possession so the Caps will look to be patient right here there Brazzle back out there good minutes by Tonks there
Manga length of Turner ahead of her sharp inside well placed Fowler on the catch walks as the referee didn’t see her feet that’s unlucky again was a really great post up but great time double team there on the catch by Adelaide that’s a blow for the
Caps I mean 418 remaining at so much time but seven-point lead and really the lightning it’s been their ball game for the most part of this second half yeah C is not moving the ball as nicely as what they have but you’ve got to credit the lightning with some
Defense there Mansfield that hurts Lauren Mansfield drops the three double digit ball game we’ve got a Timeout on the floor Lissa Anderson much needed timeout there great basket by Mansfield those transition baskets that is what Adelaide are all about that is what gets them going you can see their energy you
Can see Mansfield going thank you you that one dropped doesn’t that fire up the home crowd 72 play 62 this one brought to you by your local Ford dealer proudly supporting Community basketball in Australia Lauren Mansville is up to 13 points and six assists in the game they’re in control at the moment
The aday lightning turn’s got a double double they’re looking really good right now Liam and yeah you’re about to mention Brianna Turner what a game she’s having she really is lighting up that stat sheet but most impressively leading scorer not that it matters but when she’s needed to do it today the way
She’s come about her basket she’s worked so hard I mean she’s always awesome on the boards but offensive rebounds putbacks putting the ball on the floor has been really impressive um and it’s created CRA some really awkward matchups whereas normally when she’s not as aggressive you can put like a defender
On her that you doesn’t it’s not going to get exposed as much but with Brianna turn Turner playing this aggressively she is a really tough matchup for all your well said and she is a stat sheet stuffer we know that she’s done that this afternoon two steals four
Blocks and easily the league leader in the stocks category if you subscribed to that column I also love that Adelaide now have five players legitimately in double figures that’s really hard to guard m so caps need a response out of this timeout manga inside rle nearly got a hand to it
There Melbourne short on the three you can see they were they’re looking to go at Fowler and why wouldn’t you but you can see on the catch straight away that weak side is coming in and double teaming her and creating her to have to pass it in
Mansfield aday with a big couple of minutes here could almost put this one Out Of Reach camber need a stop fouler nearly the steel Turner Willoughby got to make her move splitting through driving straight through the rim and gets the whistle just in time that’s just a really high
Percentage I’m going to get this done look how strong she is getting to the basket so strong and it’s a tough blow for the Caps who nearly put together a strong 24 seconds defensively yeah that kills you and you get it all the way down to that 3 21
Foul send it to the foul line but Y credit to Willoughby indeed it’ll be her first trip to the stripe this afternoon almost surprising given the aggression she plays with she’s got 16 now for Adelaide yeah she’s gotten herself so open that there hasn’t been anyone there to foul
It nylon on the two three throws Melbourne straight away Coast to Coast Showtime from Jade Melbourne when they needed it for the Caps Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better yeah Jo this is exciting this is from the midcourt she decided she was going straight to the
Rim didn’t she she sure did but I mean you’ve only got 32 3 and A2 minutes left in the game the Caps really do need to put pressure on the rim now it is now onever Jade Melbourne she stands up in those situations so back to a single digit
Ball game as we approach crunch time here in in aday Mansfield had a good second half in Rhythm from three sha pulls it down maybe a chance for the Caps to go quick here Melbourne stepping back for three and Turner that is a big rebounds Fowler was right there crashing the
Glass Turner top of the perimeter Mani around a pick what a f Willoughby on the cut great cut movement there by Willoughby Melbourne caps with a sense of urgency and B is being fouled just having a little frustrated discussion so Turner looks a little beused it’ll be personal foul number three on
Her I don’t mean to laugh but she clearly got a lot of ball there and is’s very frustrated the ref just saying that’s the end of the discussion debate has been put to bed loving that Hearst t-shirt there yeah that is terrific shirt from nurst good on a on Steph Talbert’s
Return game I want one that’s a lovely t-shirt foul is good on the seconds yeah watch Brian tney here she’s she’s really annoyed and fired up after that let’s see how she can respond here is Steph talber Mansfield mango has been another of those fun battles Turner Manfield got to bail them out
Attacking oh throws it up and flips it in on the left hand beautiful play by Manfield then manga F sharp on the cut reverse Layin won’t go Adelaide seemed to be getting some really nice control of this game now that could be a few possessions away from icing it minute
45 Mansfield in no rush they one it out of their hands Willoughby down low Turner turns and F Talbert with a hustle he going to stay with the lightning well credit um tber there just just fighting to get that POS that possession it just make camber couldn’t come up with that clean
Rebound giving them a bit of their own medicine back inside Willoughby was the desired Target foul call on Sharp so lightning feeling a little bit hardly done by here with the foul so in the bonus the rest of the way yeah will be getting herself to the line just just purely from working
Hard this in Port Duo Willoughby and Turner has power at Adelaide this afternoon that’s 20 points now for Willoughby turn is still having a chat with the I love to see the replay Willoughby goes two of two Turner with a chance to impact it here Melbourne F was under the glass
Turnover Mansfield into the front Court Melbourne trying to apply the pressure they need to just throw everything at them here the caps and the foul call I was just about to say I yeah would have loved to see the Caps do that little bit earlier that hustle play the defensive
Intensity from Jade Melbourne was great Fields Back to the line lightning have cleaned up their act really from the three throw line now 15 of 20 after a SL slow start and you didn’t even mozo saying that sure sign that they’re locked in he can’t Ms Lauren Mansfield no she’s
Pretty Rock Solid from that free throw line very reliable she is cter maybe an early shock clock three is the remedy for the Caps it will be via manga had to try it manga’s going again though on the second chance that’s a win for the UC capitals and amazingly the lightning fans don’t
Agree they certainly don’t like it so a timeout an 82 play 66 with a square minute remaining here in the fourth quarter chance to draw something up and just put a bit of pressure on this satellite team they’ve been terrific in the second half really Lissa they really have I
Mean you just look at those scorers Willoughby 21 Turner 16 Mansfield 17 Bourne 11 and then good old Steph Talbert on her return in only 19 minutes 12 points and seven rebounds thank you very much and that’s not even mentioning Brianna Turner’s stat sheet I mean that
Is just a really impressive spread right across the um right across the team which as I mentioned a few minutes ago is really hard to guard and credit to them anded I’ve had contributors all over the floor turn has completed that double double as well with 11 boards and
I think it should be add given that Alex sharp had 16 points at the half still a fantastic game by her but to finish on 20 credit to Adelaide they’ve clearly discussed it at halim they’ve tried a few different Defenders couple of smaller up and in kind of guard defend
Smaller um in height to kind of get up and in on Alex cuz she is such a good size they’ve really mixed it up in the second half and made it a lot more difficult their adjustments have been great lightning caps were moving the ball so well
Early to find Alex sharp open he’s got it on the Baseline here Melbourne off the dribble Turner did just enough to close out that three you can just see here they’re all being like look at that’s just swarming aggressive defense big difference to the first quarter doesn’t that just illustrate
What they’ve done here in the second half Last by Melbourne here’s Talbert it’s been her afternoon on return Lauren Mansfield talber off the dribble takes on Fowler great move great assessment nice little fake there to get that open drive along the Baseline Talbert’s got 14 on return Milbourne again combining with
Foul as she will head to the strip other than a few of these little fouls the I thought the refs have done a really good job letting these girls play um I know at times they’re getting a bit frustrated that some are getting called and then they feel like contact been
Contact has been left on other plays but from my perspective it’s been really entertaining to watch a lot of really great battles out there it’s been physical you can see them when the camera goes close up they’re legitimately red in the face from how hard they’re all working it’s been a
Great battle between both teams it really has been Oly Coleman has checked in for rade F’s had a little bit of a tough second half but credit to how hard she’s been working Jess Simons as well out there for the lightning fouler good on the second 20 seconds remaining
Here Bor will hit the pine last look here for the lightning if they want it Ranna Turner out there on the perimeter with aoya what a ball game she’s had J Simons finding Turner 4 seconds got to shoot s’s got to go here on the final buzzer
That’ll do it Adelaide 84 defeat the UC capitals on their home floor 67 to get the job done for their home fans Steph Talbert on return is in the Winner’s column and she was great played 20 minutes for 14 points and adelay are all smiles here at home on your Sunday
Afternoon Lissa Anderson as they should be Liam that is just a great team game there I thought look I thought the Caps did a great job in that first half and looked so good collectively but the adjustments Adelaide made in that second half credit to them they were so tough
Very impressed with what they were very tough um defensively and very impressed with what they got done in that second half we mentioned they’re not predominantly a second half team well that changed tonight well done to the uh lightning and they were great down the stretch and Brianna Turner is our player
Of the game double double 16 Points 11 boards and four blocks as well she was awesome and four assists I mean what a what a game by BR Turner she got it done everywhere I mean you can see Fade Away jump shots tip-ins great drives running the floor right like then being rewarded
She played every minute of that game and just works her butt off that entire time so well-deserved player of the game very impressive off the dribble there the aggression offensively a highlight seven of nine from the fields controlling the keyway as she’s done all season she was terrific to lead the way
For this 17-point victory for the Adelaide lightning started off of course if you joined us late camra were hot early JMA Potter came out really firing out of the gates as did Alex sharp who had 15 points in the first 12 or so minutes she sure did and they just their
Shots came off just such beautiful ball movement they were all relaxed and flowing and they went in they went out um really look really impressive in that first half and they’ve played some great team basketball so I’m sure camber will bounce back but I think all credit needs
To go to the way the lightning played that second half cell will have one more opportunity before the fever break on Tuesday versus Townsville I thought Mansfield was great down the stretch as well she finished with 17 points and seven assists another great game for her
Yeah and at times then when um the lightning did probably take a few premature shots and and forced a few things when they just needed to show some Poise that was even more impressive that that’s when Mansfield stepped up and you could see her tuck the ball
Under her arm and tell them where to go set them up and actually make sure they use the clock so great leadership by mansvi out there as well even spread of contributors for the lightning five players in double figures the match stats well they had 40 to 26 points in
The paint they led the rebounding column and shot a very efficient 48% clip from the fields and here are your match leaders will be led away with 21 in the end to lead all scorers Turner 11 boards and Jade Melbourne didn’t really get it going in the scorers column but 11
Assists if you don’t mind goodness me 11 assists is not easy that just shows that the clip that they were play that camber were playing at as well but um great job there to get 11 assists and unlike her to not be in the double figures scoring
And they did really need other players to step up to score but um I think Jade mawin can be forgiven for having one quiet game offensively particularly coming out of an injury but 11 assist very impressive I think she can as well Adelaide we’ll see them next after the
Fever break on 17th of February versus the Melbourne Boomers here’s the remainer of your games in round 13 and three to come two game that they meant to play this weekend so that would also have a huge impact on the final four so hopefully they can work out a little window to get
That game replayed hope everyone is safe up there in Queensland of course great to see that game play but safety always comes first thank you very much for joining us here this afternoon the adelay lightning a dominant second half 8467 contributors from all over the floor and they get the victory here and
Steph Talbert’s return turn it’s been a pleasure to have you with us here on 9 now Liam Ellison and Lissa Anderson with you on the call and from all our hardworking team behind the scenes thank you and good afternoon
