Atlanta Dream · 5 notes
Jordin Canada wasn't satisfied after Atlanta's first-ever WNBA Finals win: "The stats looks like I had a triple-double, but to me, I know I could have played a lot better." She pointed to forced shots, overthinking on defense and turnovers down the stretch.
Allisha Gray, in a soft cast after Atlanta's win, will be listed day-to-day. Asked if she'll be back this season, Karl Smesko said he hopes so but has no further information. In her place, Jordin Canada said, Isobel Borlase gave "huge minutes, some timely buckets."
DeWanna Bonner shifted positions in Atlanta's Game 1 win over New York and guarded MVP-level players. Karl Smesko: "She moved positions in this game where she hasn't even been practicing really at that position." Jordin Canada said Bonner also lit into the team at halftime.
Jordin Canada scored 25 in Atlanta's Game 1 win over New York despite three first-half fouls. Asked about small guards: "It don't matter about height. It's all about the heart that you have." She said she's been counted out "a lot this season and just overall in my career."
"I think last year we would get lots of leads and then we would lose them." Jordin Canada said the difference in this Atlanta Dream team, now up 1-0 on New York after a Game 1 win, is that it finishes games out.
