Angel Reese and Co. coming off a good offensive stance, fell short on the defensive as the Connecticut Sun grabbed the winning on Sky’s home court. Despite the efforts by Reese and Co., Coach Teresa Weatherspoon observed some discrepancies in the team’s performance.

This loss at home seems to have hit a nerve for the Sky coach as she sat the media appearance, counting out the flaws that led to the 75-83 loss. In the postgame conference, ‘T-Spoon’ said, “It’s not like this is fun. Nothing fun about losing, not one thing. It doesn’t matter how much you learn and growing, nothing fun about freaking losing. Nothing. Doesn’t matter about the freaking lesson that you learn, it’s still nothing fun about losing. So we got to correct some things and correct them quickly.”

Weatherspoon further emphasized the importance of details that the team seemed to have missed in the game. She said, “It’s about details, paying attention to details. The execution of the play that’s drawn up, execute the play, can’t go off away from, it is important. Doesn’t matter where you’re supposed to set up, set there, it’s set up for a reason, it’s written for a reason, the movement is for a reason. We have to understand those smallest details, the smallest details matter in this game. We have to correct that mess immediately.”
