Loved at the 5:08 mark of the 4th quarter when Brink hit the floor chasing a loose ball and ended up hanging onto it with both legs.   She is so impressive!   I have to admit a bit of concern, though, about her being hurt as I believe she went to the locker room and did not remain on the bench.

I think this should've been ruled a jump ball...

As I saw it, I understood one ref to call it a kicked ball.  A half-witted ref might take this rule

Art. 2. Kicking the ball is striking it intentionally with any part of the leg or the foot� Accidentally striking the ball with the foot or leg shall not be a violation�

and misinterpret it to mean any TOUCHING of the ball with any part of the leg as "kicking the ball".  But the rule is STRIKING it.

Bad call.
