Sophie Cunningham had three words for Myisha Hines-Allen's game-saving block originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Sophie Cunningham wasn't in uniform Thursday night, but that didn't stop her from becoming one of the Indiana Fever's most animated supporters. The Fever guard was ruled out ahead of Indiana's 114-106 overtime victory over the Chicago Sky because of an elbow injury. While she couldn't contribute on the court, Cunningham made her presence felt from the bench as she cheered on her teammates during one of the most entertaining games of the WNBA season.
And when Myisha Hines-Allen delivered perhaps the biggest defensive play of the night, Cunningham's reaction said everything. Late in regulation, with momentum swinging toward Chicago, Sky guard Jacy Sheldon appeared to have a clear path to the basket on a potential go-ahead layup. Hines-Allen had other ideas.
The veteran forward raced back in transition and erased the attempt with a spectacular chase-down block, sending the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd into a frenzy and helping preserve Indiana's chance to eventually win in overtime.
The highlight immediately became one of the most talked-about moments from the game.
