Delle Donne and Brittney Griner. Photo credit WNBA by J.T. I was watching some WNBA last night because nothing else was on but it was also a Griner/Delle Donne matchup and as a fan of all sorts of basketball I can have time for that. In the winding seconds with game tied at 68, Delle Donne got the ball at the top of the 3 point line isolated on Bonner; honestly she channeled her inner Dirk because I swear I thought I was looking at a female Dirk when she made her move.  She took a few dribbles did a nice left to right spin move to get separation and she cashed out leading the Sky to the victory (70-68).
