What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorGame three of the WNBA Finals is live in Atlanta, series tied one to one, and the Dream lead the Valkyries nine to three with four-ten left in the first quarter.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine to three is good, right? Nine is bigger.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNine is bigger, yes. Now here's the real story.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorMore than forty thousand fans waited in line for tickets, so they moved the game out of the Dream's regular arena and into State Farm Arena.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorForty thousand!

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the building was a little shy for the occasion. I'd call that a rapid expansion of fan access.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, it's the first Finals game in Atlanta since twenty thirteen, it's sold out, and Atlanta won game two by fourteen.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt was their first Finals win in franchise history. First!

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd Golden State?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNineteen turnovers in game two, a franchise worst, and Atlanta turned them into twenty-four points. I'm telling you, that's a crisis.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGiving the ball away is just generosity with a bad schedule.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnyway, red against purple, and I'm sorry, but purple looks nervous. Nine to three just confirms it.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorElsewhere, Flyers two, Sabres nothing after one period, and Toronto leads Chicago fifty-two to twenty-five with nine-twenty left in the second.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGold and red, Rex. Everybody in that arena is dressed like a warning label, and I love it.
