Nightcap Hour 3: Mystics UPSET Lynx + Los Angles Sparks BEAT New York Liberty + Aces TAKE DOWN Valkyries

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
The Mystics beat the Lynx 84-79, but our girl Olivia Miles finished with 22.6 assists. Despite the loss, she got high praise for KG.
Olivia Miles is one of the best rookies in all of basketball, NBA or WNBA. Olivia Miles is average at 18.3 points a game, five rebounds, almost six assists over 16 games, shooting 54% from the field while powering the Lynx to a 13-4 record without Nafisha Collier. She's the fastest WNBA rookie to reach 300 points and 75 rebounds and 75 assists. She's special, man. She got wiggle, Joe. She got wiggle like a guy. And I think that's the greatest compliment you can play, you can pay a young lady. Because you watch her and you watch out the fluidity in which she moves.
They're like, that's not a woman's basketball player. That is a guy. She grew up playing against guys. She had to, to be able to move like this.

**Chad Johnson** (0:56)
She can stop on the dime. She gets you leaning one way. She got them subtle hitches in her game. Like she really can play, bro. Like when you watch somebody, it's like, you know, even in like a combined setting, you probably wouldn't see a whole lot. But once you put them out there on the court and watch them play five on five, playing live action and how they read and react, that's her. She can read and react to pick and roll great. She great in isolation. And man, she killing the WNBA.
She fun to watch.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:28)
She's special.
I'm surprised. I mean, the Mystics aren't that good. I mean, Sonya Citron, she can play, but they have, you know, they're eight and seven. Yeah. Five hundred coming into the ball game. The Lynx are 13 and four, playing very good. You know, they got a nice car. Natasha Howard, Kayla McBride, obviously Olivia Miles. She's go, they might as well just go ahead and hand her.

Nneka Agumake hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Los Angeles Sparks to a 98-97 victory over the New York Liberty on Sunday night in the anniversary of the league's first game that featured the same two teams. The Sparks, who lost the inaugural game to the Liberty 1997 trailed by 17 points in the third quarter, rallying behind Agumake's, who finished with 24 points. On the final play, Erica Wheeler drove and passed it out to Agumake, who calmly sank a three-point shot just as the, just before the buzzer from the wing. Agumake had 12 of her points in the final three minutes and 50 seconds of the ball game.

**Chad Johnson** (3:29)
She can play too, boy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:31)
She still can play, cause you know, when Neckl been in the game, she's a former MVP. And we talked about, touched on a little bit earlier, Joe.
I don't think she's ever made the US. Women's Team to go play in the Olympics.

**Chad Johnson** (3:41)
Oh, okay. Okay.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:43)
So she still feels, I'm sure she still feels some type of way about that, and rightfully so.
But Stewie, for the Liberty, had 18 Zabali had 14
Jean-Claude Jones had 18 Ines Kuhl still coming back, nursing off that surgery. But they got, you know, they got what? 30, 32 points from the bench. Yeah. But Agumake 24 Dorica Hanby 12 Erica Wheeler 15 Kelsey Plumb, she had a, coming off of a bad injury. Plumb is, Atkins had 10 and Ray Burrell had 19 I thought this, I was like, ain't no way they winning this game. I'm not so sure how they did it, Joe.
