Don't Leave Elena Delle Donne This Wide Open

The Mystics squashed the Liberty in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, thanks to an Elena Delle Donne buzzer beater. She got the shot off thanks to a brilliantly drawn inbounds play, but also because the Liberty played some atrocious defense that left Delle Donne with an acre of space at the three-point line. (The scorebug in the video below is crappy, but there were 0.6 seconds left when the Mystics threw it in.)

Maybe don’t do that to your opponent’s best scorer.
