My main concern is the health of Nadia Fingall.  She went down twice.  The first time I think she was clutching her right knee, but after a trip to the locker room she returned later.  The second time she was definitely clutching her left knee.  I could be mixed up.

It was her left leg that was  hyperextended in the 3rd at 7:03 and that gave her trouble when she first came in, and then caused her to collapse when  she came in again.

4Q 9:32 Fingall’s first play after being put back in was a defensive effort against a  shooter in low. After a slight jump she landed only on her good right leg and hopped.  She  didn’t even make it to  the foul line on offense.
4Q 9:11 A rebound comes her way but she couldn’t jump for it, only putting up a hand to deflect it.  That cost us  2 points. 
At the other end, her play contributed to a turnover.   In the resulting defensive play, it seems unlikely that she even made it  to the half  court line.
 
4Q 8:51 Fingall goes out at a free throw.
4Q 8:22 Fingall comes back in at another USC free throw . Eight seconds later, as she sets her left leg to stop her motion,  she flinches & pulls her injured knee up as though she had a sharp pain, and collapses to the floor.  The male ref calls a phantom foul on the USC player.

MHO is that it was a risk to bring Fingall back in at 9:32.  After the way she looked out on the court (I'd  say that in 41 seconds she was mostly  responsible for a 6 point swing to  USC), it was absolutely unbelievable to me that she was put back in at 8:22.
