Not sure if she's just tired from a season of playing a ton of minutes, but a few times she was noticeably slow in transition and all but foreclosed any possibility of fast break points. Once she was in the paint, as usual, she was her athletic, attacking self, but she seemed slower than usual to start the offensive sets. Also: has she just given up on trying to make treys? She was wide open several times and didn't even seem to consider attempting to launch from outside.I thought Jones slowed down after she took that slip and fall. It look like she overextended a leg and she came out for a couple of minutes. I was surprised and relieved when she came back in, but she did not seem to have quite the same spring in her step at that point. I'll watch the replay later and see if I can find where it was.
