The intensity defense in the WNBA <\/a>is unbelievable and I will break it down why is that the case. The NBA fans were accustomed to that type intensity in the 90s and 2000s. However, the rules changed in the NBA and players can longer hand-check let alone be aggressive on defense. The intensity I am talking about I witnessed it during the Seattle Storm<\/a> vs Las Vegas Aces <\/a>Friday’s<\/em> game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, what an incredible unbelievable game the Storm<\/em> and Aces<\/em> showcased for the fans. One of the few games I will forever cherish as a fan of the WNBA. What I witnessed reminded me of the 90s NBA game. Pushing, shoving, hustling for the rebounds and man to man defense. What a moment and an amazing game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natasha Howard Player of the week <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, let’s talk about how aggressive the player of the week Natasha Howard<\/a> performed on Friday’s game. During last week’s game, Howard averaged 4.5 blocks per game. However, on Friday’s game, she finished with 21 points, 3 assists, and 10 rebounds. That’s what I called intensity defense in the WNBA. Not to forget she is averaging 2.1 steals per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
