“Well it was a grind,” Hammon said after the game. “They’ve been together about 17 games and they really started to jell these last few games. . . . They just competed. They were tired, and they fought through a lot.”
League MVP Kyle Anderson finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists, none better than this beautiful behind-the-back pass.
In addition to the impressive showing in Las Vegas, Hammon also has her travel shuffle down. Gregg Popovich would be proud.
