NEW YORK — DeWanna Bonner sat behind the microphones with Tiffany Hayes attempting to describe the emotional toll the Connecticut Sun were still undergoing after learning Alyssa Thomas had not won the 2023 WNBA MVP award. It was a 'double-whammy' a week after hearing Thomas was also not named the Defensive Player of the Year.
“We got her,” Hayes interjected.
It’s a group to which two couples on the other side of the semifinal series are also included, though the approach has changed for them. New York Liberty guard Courtney Vandersloot and wife Allie Quigley won the 2021 WNBA championship together in Chicago, where they played together since 2013. Breanna Stewart, who earned her second MVP this week, and her wife, Marta Xargay, played together on the Russian team, Dynamo Kursk, that finished runner-up in EuroLeague play in 2018-19.
“I just got to go and push her to a different gear and get under her skin, because I know she always wants to prove me wrong,” Thomas said. “Usually, it works. Once I know I’ve done that, then I know the second half is going to be different.” Does it work the other way? Can Bonner say something to get Thomas going if she’s not playing to her triple-double level early?
