Caught up with Shakira Austin at post-practice media availability today.
Shakira spoke on how “Being aggressive and everyone being a threat” can help the team hopefully avoid slower starts in the future.
Notable: Shakira is averaging 15.4/8.3/2.9 and All-Star voting just opened up today.

Despite the loss to the fever, the Mystics got a very encouraging game from their rookie PG Georgia Amoore.
Amoore went 4-4 from deep (12pts) and added 4 assists.
Fans should be encouraged by her performance yesterday as we saw the exciting shooting ability that opens up the floor for her teammates.

The NBA Finals between the Spurs and Knicks tip-off tonight, so it seems right to highlight a #DMV product X-Factor for the Knicks in Josh Hart.
Hart did a little bit of everything in the ECF and is a key piece in New York’s finals run.
A game developed in the DC area, highlighted by his time @sidwellmbb and eventually on to championship-level play at the NCAA level for @novambb.
The success of the Knicks in their series against San Antonio will hinge on Hart’s versatility and it should be a fun series all around.

Really fun coaching moment from this weekend for my CTS Elite 14u squad.
Needed an inbound to seal a win, and let the team take a football-style inbound to provide an interesting look for the pressing defense.
Still a work in progress but a fun moment to share.
After a 92-87 win over the Mystics, I asked Cameron Brink about what went well defensively during a 2nd quarter where the Sparks outscored the Mystics 21-12.
Mystics’ Shakira Austin only played a small number of minutes in the 2nd quarter and the Sparks capitalized when she was on the bench.
