Kiah Stokes with the lock down D! 🔒
Stokes held Angel Reese to 2-of-10 from the field when she was the primary defender in game 4. In the Finals, Stokes has held Reese to 22% on FG compared to her 68% against all other defenders.
She also recorded her 4th straight Finals game with 3+ blocks. 💪
How about we make life easy for Ol' Jeff and put that Prairie-Sioux City East game at Fort Dodge on Friday?

It’s really easy to tell when other “media” use our stats without asking, and it’s really, really not cool.
