Hey! It's Cookie O'Clock! Welcome back to WNBA Dimes, the show where we break down all the hoops while savoring the drama. I'm your host, Brooke, and today we’ve got a lot to unpack from the court. So grab your favorite snack, and let's dive right in.

Starting with the Washington Mystics taking on the Chicago Sky. The Mystics didn’t just win—they put on a clinic! A solid 103-86 victory and snapped up that early lead from Chicago. Washington's efficiency was next level, hitting 42.4% on the floor, sinking 10 threes, and making 21 out of 27 free throws. Let’s just say the Sky had a little trouble catching the Mystics' drift.

Sonia Citron was on fire, lighting up the board with 28 points on a fantastic 5-of-6 from downtown. Kiki Iriafen wasn’t far behind, pulling off a powerful double-double. Talk about teamwork making the dream work!

Now, on to Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream—a nail-biter if there ever was one. The Valkyries broke their losing streak with a thrilling 77-75 win. Cecilia Zandalasini stole the spotlight and the game with a last-second jumper. Golden State’s third quarter was a blaze, making a franchise-record seven threes. If only Tiffany Hayes’ 15 points and Jordin Canada’s bold performance could’ve carried the Dream further.

Swinging over to Seattle Storm vs. Connecticut Sun, where the Storm brewed up a storm of their own, winning 101-85. Skylar Diggins secured her first regular-season triple-double—way to make history! Nneka Ogwumike was a powerhouse, with a jaw-dropping 26 points on an impressive shooting spree. That third quarter? Seattle put up thirty in a flurry. Fantastic stuff!

Let’s shine a light on the star players. Citron’s precision shooting, Iriafen’s robust rebounding, Diggins pulling off the rare triple-double, and Ogwumike’s near-perfect game. Not to forget Zandalasini’s clutch game-winner and Jordin Canada’s 21 points. They all deserve a round of applause!

Zooming in on some news, Brittney Griner is making waves in Atlanta. After a rocky start, she’s picked up the pace with an impressive 16 PPG post-All-Star. Her presence is crucial with Rhyne Howard out.

And, oh boy, have we got a match to watch—Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty, a rematch from their epic 2024 Finals. It’s gonna be a showdown, with both teams leading in different league stats. Keep an eye on those premier matchups.

Looking ahead, Mystics and Valkyries face off, and of course, the much-anticipated Lynx-Liberty clash. Seattle heads to Las Vegas, and Connecticut seeks redemption against New York. Plenty of excitement to come, so stay tuned to WNBA Dimes for more buzzer-beaters and standout performances.

That's it for today’s episode! Thanks for hanging with me, Brooke, on WNBA Dimes. Remember, no matter the score, we’re always playing for the love of the game. Catch you next time, and as always, keep those cookies crumbling!
