Elena Delle Donne had the ball in attempt of dribbling out the clock. All that remained was 13.4 seconds standing in the way of the Washington Mystics’ first-ever WNBA title.
The emotion of the moment was surreal. As final seconds ticked off the clock, Delle Donne dropped the basketball and embraced teammate Natasha Cloud. The ball slowly bounced with the clock in the background.
The Finals MVP, Emma Meesseman found LaToya Sanders to embrace her. Ariel Atkins dropped to her knees in disbelief. The moment was amazing. It was a moment that an entire fan base and an entire city felt.
Teammates on the bench ran onto the floor immediately following the final tick.
