Just watched the 4th quarter again. SMH with how the calls went down the stretch. IMO, the following all should have been no calls:
1) Sabally's 4th. Brink makes a low block move, there is some small body contact but not much there. Arms were straight up and she didn't swipe down. Pretty good d IMO. Sent their best post to the bench.
2) Brink's 4th on a flop by Watson (?). All Cam did was raise her left arm. Nothing to call there. 
3) Pinto's foul on Haley's drive where she made the incredible shot from the ground. Pinto moved right with her and there was contact right to her chest. She was actually in position for a charge, but Haley didn't throw a shoulder or anything. Just let it go. Give Haley the bucket and move on. 
4) Brink's 5th on Sabally. For sure Brink has to get smarter and not go for too much ball pressure and reaching. Really dumb. But it didn't impact anything. Ticky tack. Just let it go.

In general, I think the refs should let more things go down the stretch. Let the players decide the outcome and get out of their way.   

At a higher level, I want the women's game to be more physical and I think all the players want that too.

The exasperating thing about Brink's 5th foul is that it was 25 feet from the hoop and Sabally was not a remote threat from there.  I agree the refs could have let it go, but the real question is what was Brink thinking at that point in the game?  I suspect it was a bit of frustration at having had limited court time due to foul trouble and wanting to "make something happen."  But Cam is so talented that she does that "falling out of bed"/in normal course of play.  Need Cam to be a bit smarter so she can stay on the court longer.  

And speaking of bigs, you have to like Kiki's hustle around the hoop.  From FT line in, it's not easy to get by people sufficiently to get a shot off, yet she does that remarkably well.  My favorite play, though, was her hustle in transition for a layup (on assist from Jones).  Love it when our bigs beat opponents' bigs down the court for a layup.
