00:07Hello and welcome to our coverage of the WNBA on 2K Sports.
00:12We've got the Phoenix Mercury with Brian Benefitemi and Tim Sports.
00:16I'm Blake Suniga and we're thrilled to have you with us.
00:21We're in the dog days now, fellas, and you can start to see it with some of these teams.
00:26Look, it's a long season. It's a grueling season.
00:29It's not only a battle of wins and losses, but a battle of attrition, too.
00:33You know, staying healthy is at least half the battle, but who is going to step up?
00:38That's why we have rosters constructed the way we do.
00:41And we're all kind of wondering who's going to get that kind of production from the end of their bench.
00:47And now a chance to see what's coming up for the Phoenix Mercury.
00:51On Thursday, then on Saturday, the Minnesota Lynx will come into town.
00:56And that game against the Lynx, that's a contest that could easily go either way.
01:01Small mistakes could be the difference, and both teams will need to be at their best.
01:05Who's going to get the little things done, guys? That's what I'm looking for.
01:20Here we go.
01:24It'll be the Mercury off the tip.
01:29Van der Sloot defending.
01:34Here's Whitcomb.
01:37Off target with the three.
01:39In the offseason, Brittany Greiner signed with Atlanta, leaving the Mercury after 11 years.
01:44Greiner was the first pick in the 2013 draft, won a title back in 2014.
01:49Two Defensive Player of the Year awards, nine All-Star appearances.
01:54But best of all, Brittany was a great member of the Phoenix community.
01:58Now here's Thomas.
02:04And she drops in the layup off glass.
02:07Nice movement by Thomas.
02:08Sets the pick and gets the bucket.
02:14Gander Sloot outside.
02:17Goes up and lays it in nice and easy.
02:21What a plus it is to get those looks in the paint.
02:27Bonner outside.
02:30Outside Whitcomb.
02:33Back to Bonner for three.
02:35Rebound by Uhas.
02:37We can't get in a much better position for the three-pointer.
02:40Just didn't get it to fall.
02:42It's good.
02:44Textbook.
02:44Nice pass.
02:46Nice catch.
02:47Nice shot.
02:51Here's Bonner.
02:52Pass to Brown.
02:56Down low.
02:58And a shot goes in.
03:00Four straight makes out of the gate.
03:01That's just a nice start.
03:04Now about two minutes gone by in the first quarter.
03:08Juan of Bonner for three.
03:10The shot.
03:10No good.
03:14And they have certainly been looking locked in offensively.
03:17They sure have.
03:18Staying aggressive and playing in control.
03:20Pass to Uhas.
03:25Whitcomb defending.
03:26Six on the shot clock.
03:28Here's Van der Sloot.
03:30It's rebounded by Phoenix.
03:31Four of five to start their game.
03:34That's their first miss.
03:36Tries again.
03:37And there's the nice layup by Brown.
03:41Talk about playing with intensity.
03:44On the offensive glass, Brown is a matchup nightmare.
03:49Uhas.
03:49That's good.
03:50So far, so good for them at the offensive end in the early going.
03:54Their field goal percentage is terrific.
03:56Exactly the start they were hoping for.
04:01Outside Whitcomb.
04:04Off the mark there with the three.
04:12Here's pow-pow for three.
04:14Run up.
04:15One down.
04:16She makes her first shot in this game.
04:18That's just great ball movement.
04:20And that's Keith's run.
04:22Passing it with a purpose.
04:25Because he has not been able to keep up.
04:27Using her lengthy wingspan to her advantage, Brown is able to dominate down low.
04:34And you look at 6'7", Kalani Brown.
04:37She's one of the most efficient players in the W.
04:40I mean, you look at offensive ratings.
04:41She led the league in it in 2023.
04:43Brown is well over 50% for her career from the field.
04:46She uses her size and skill to dominate the paint.
04:50To the middle.
04:52And that one's good.
04:54Thomas.
04:55Tough finish by Thomas.
04:57Wanting it more.
05:01Vander Sloot right side.
05:03Uhas.
05:04Melissa Thomas with the rebound.
05:06Those are the shots you hate to miss.
05:08An opportunity and a possession gone.
05:14Takes the 13-footer.
05:16Nice.
05:17Spin off the left rim and in.
05:19Such a well-rounded talent.
05:21And when Thomas starts to feel it, she can really do damage from the mid-range.
05:27Now here's Vander Sloot.
05:32Now here's Juhas.
05:36Vander Sloot.
05:38Good.
05:38Well, Vander Sloot is just fearless.
05:41Getting past the inside contact and getting to her finish.
05:47Pass to Bonner.
05:50Whit comes.
05:52And it's off from three-point range.
05:56Here's Pow Pow.
05:58The layup missed.
06:02The Mercury trail.
06:06Here's Whitcomb.
06:08And the basket by Brown.
06:10Good pass work.
06:12The assist was right on target.
06:15Here's Vander Sloot.
06:22And the shot is good.
06:24No business for her yet in this quarter.
06:26Solid at the rock.
06:29And a chance at a two-for-one if they want it.
06:31And I'm not a genius like Brian.
06:33But if I'm them, I try for that.
06:35Give yourself some credit, Tim.
06:36You're pretty smart.
06:37Pass to Whitcomb.
06:41Thomas.
06:42Good on the shots.
06:43The paint is Thomas' domain.
06:46She's great at finding those point-blank looks.
06:49Phoenix.
06:50To the inside.
06:53And it's Phoenix with the rebound.
06:57To the paint.
06:59And the basket by Brown.
07:02That's the tenth straight point they've given up in the paint.
07:05It doesn't matter how good their perimeter defense is.
07:07If they keep allowing easy looks inside.
07:11Juhasz.
07:12She's covered by Thomas.
07:14Juhasz.
07:14That's good.
07:15There has not been much defense to speak of yet.
07:19Has there?
07:20Nope.
07:21It's been all offense all the time here early.
07:24She knocks it down.
07:26But wait a minute.
07:27The officials are getting together.
07:29The previous play is under review.
07:32Marr are going to review the play.
07:34The question, did she get the basket off in time?
07:37Yeah.
07:38And I'll be pretty honest.
07:39It looks pretty clear-cut on the instant replay.
07:41The ball was out of her hands in time.
07:43I think they'll confirm this one pretty quickly.
07:46Well, I can't see how they'd come to any other conclusion.
07:49I mean, we have a great look at it on the replay.
07:52After the review, the ruling on the floor is overturned.
07:57And they've taken a look at it.
07:59And they're overturning the call.
08:01They're calling the basket good.
08:03Well, guys, this is why we have replay.
08:05To make sure the officials don't miss any calls.
08:08Good job to take the second look at it.
08:10It would have really been a shame if they'd been cheated out of those points.
08:14Plenty of offense in this closely contested first quarter of play.
08:18Up three.
08:19And back with the start of the second quarter in just a moment.
08:38A close game here at the start of the second quarter to play.
08:42They've come out of the gate strong and put in a solid first quarter.
08:45A lot of good looks for them on offense so far.
08:48Just quality shots.
08:56Here's Joe Hannes.
08:58He's guarded by Williams.
09:03And here's Joe Hannes.
09:05And count the basket.
09:07He was fouled.
09:08And he's going to the line for one more.
09:23Here's Bradford.
09:28Outside Williams.
09:31Pass to Mac.
09:32Bibby.
09:36Here's Bradford.
09:38Drops in.
09:39The layup for two.
09:41Just really good awareness right there on the assist.
09:47Now, Joe Hannes.
09:52Harrison in the post.
09:53And she banks in the layup.
09:56Superb assist.
09:57She was crafty, creative, and the ultimate teammate on that play.
10:03Nice pass led them to the rack perfectly for the layup.
10:07Fantastic ball movement.
10:08They're picking them apart with their passing.
10:10Every pass is with purpose, and their last ten points have come off of assists.
10:15Great team basketball on display right now.
10:18Here's Bradford.
10:20Inside.
10:21And the basket by Mack.
10:22Great teamwork out there.
10:25Sitting at the table for one another.
10:26They're playing as one.
10:28Five straight baskets resulting from assists.
10:31Great team basketball.
10:33Expanding her range.
10:35Her first shot is a miss.
10:36So, for one, to start the contest.
10:38And they have certainly been looking locked in offensively.
10:41They sure have.
10:42Staying aggressive and playing in control.
10:46Pass the bell.
10:49Bibi with the board.
10:50Now it appears an injury on the floor.
10:53And that does not look like any fun.
10:56Man.
10:57I mean, this is something you just hate to see.
10:59Yeah.
11:00It's a tough part of the game.
11:01Hopefully it's not a serious injury.
11:35The shot goes down, and it gets this game back to even.
11:39Not much resistance on the inside.
11:42That's their fifth consecutive make in the paint.
11:46Those looks they're allowing are almost automatic.
11:50In fact, I'll just say it.
11:51They are automatic.
11:52The three is up.
11:55Bibi with the board.
11:57And it's the Mercury with the ball.
12:00Pass to Whitcomb.
12:04Here's Thomas.
12:05The 15-footer.
12:07And there's another one for the Mercury.
12:10Confidence stroke from Thomas.
12:11Did not hesitate.
12:12Well, when it comes to all-time triple doubles,
12:15no one comes close to Alyssa Thomas.
12:18Yeah.
12:19I mean, entering the 25 season, Thomas had 15.
12:23No one else in league history had five.
12:26And they come in key moments, too.
12:29She's got a few in the playoffs.
12:31Now here's Whitcomb.
12:33Looking for her first basket still in this one.
12:36Thomas.
12:41It's good for the seventh time this game.
12:43And she shot seven and made seven.
12:47I think that's 100%.
13:13Now here's Vandersloop.
13:15Defense right on her.
13:16Here's Bell.
13:18No good from outside.
13:20Phoenix in the lead.
13:22Jacks up a three.
13:24Here's Thomas.
13:26Misses from close range.
13:29Yeah, remember that.
13:30That's not an opportunity.
13:31She fails to convert very often.
13:33And stolen by Dewan of Honor.
13:36And a fast break now for the Mercury.
13:39Lays it in off the breakaway.
13:41So strong in the open court.
13:43Quick, tall, determined.
13:45Bonner is who you want finishing a fast break.
13:50Here's Vandersloop.
13:51And good that time.
13:57And these guys have had some good motion on offense.
14:00Nice assists.
14:01When everybody's involved offensively, it's in a way helping you defensively, too.
14:08Pass to you, Haas.
14:12And here is Vandersloop.
14:16Another field goal for her.
14:18Four for six shooting the night.
14:20Once you let Vandersloop get to the rim, the damage is already done.
14:24She's too skilled around the basket.
14:27Here's Brown.
14:28Guarded by Juhas.
14:29Up top, Thomas.
14:38Bader on the way.
14:39Five to shoot.
14:41No good with the triple.
14:43I thought that was going to drop.
14:45It looked good from here.
14:46Looked good here, too.
14:47I'm as shocked as you.
14:50For three.
14:51Seats the three-pointer.
14:53She might not have the long-leaning ability of some other players in this league,
14:56but she'll knock down open ones like that.
15:05Will it go?
15:06It's rebounded by Vandersloop.
15:15And it's Phoenix with the rebound.
15:17If she can get to the rim, she'll usually turn it into points, but the defense stood tall there.
15:24Bonner's shot is good.
15:25Oh, my gosh.
15:26She is scoring much more efficiently here in the second.
15:29I love this bounce back.
15:31About seven seconds separating the shot and game clock.
15:34Past to Bell.
15:35From deep.
15:37Buries it from three-point range.
15:39How about that for a response?
15:42We'll give you a three, and then we'll take it right back.
15:45It's turning into a three-point contest.
15:50Outside Whitcomb.
15:53Bonner outside.
15:57Brown sets a screen.
16:00That's good, and it's Gawanna Bonner with the assist.
16:03And her defender straight into that screen to open up the lane to the hoop.
16:07And the first half comes to an end.
16:09We've got a close game going on here.
16:12They lead by one.
16:14Hold tight.
16:14We've got more basketball action headed your way.
16:22You will turn it in.
16:24It's time for your favorite half-court shot.
16:27Please direct your attention to center court.
16:34Drums, please.
16:38And that's very much the shot.
16:46One more time.
16:48A round of applause.
16:59We'll see you next time.
17:00We'll see you next time.
17:02We'll see you next time.
17:03We'll see you next time.
17:04We'll see you next time.
17:05We'll see you next time.
17:06We'll see you next time.
17:07We'll see you next time.
17:07We'll see you next time.
17:07We'll see you next time.
17:08We'll see you next time.
17:09We'll see you next time.
17:10We'll see you next time.
17:13We'll see you next time.
17:40Start of the third quarter here
17:42after a closely contested first half.
17:44Alyssa Thomas has been sensational.
17:47Well, I think it'll be important to see if they can stop her down in the second half
17:51because so far they have not had any answer for her when she's down on the block.
17:56Yeah, maybe mixing up her looks, bumping her out, front her, double down.
18:01Just do something to throw her off her rhythm.
18:13Vandersloot with it.
18:14That's to you, Haas.
18:16Now, pow, pow.
18:20Yep, that one goes.
18:23Way to work the ball in close to the hoop.
18:26Phoenix trailing here.
18:28Here's Whitcomb.
18:29That one falls coming off Alyssa Thomas' feed.
18:33Known as a shooter, Whitcomb has really worked on her finishing around the rim.
18:37Well, the term unicorn, a one-of-one type player, certainly fits Alyssa Thomas.
18:42We really haven't seen a player like her easily leading the WNBA when it comes to career triple-doubles.
18:49Thomas is 6'2", but she never takes threes.
18:52You watch her play.
18:53There's never been a player like her in the W.
18:56Now, here's Thomas.
18:5814 points for her.
19:01And it's going to be two free throws.
19:03True contact on the shot.
19:06It's going to go on Jorka Juhas.
19:08Well, something I really like about Thomas' game, she gets to the foul line a lot.
19:24And the first one drops.
19:26Oh, when you talk about Alyssa Thomas, she's got a unique skill set, incredible defensively,
19:31can really pass it, doesn't take threes.
19:34A true one-of-one.
19:39Now, here's Pau Pau.
19:41Tight defense on her.
19:42And so, she draws the foul on the shot.
19:45A trick to the line to shoot two.
19:47With the offense getting right to the rim, at least they saved the layup.
19:50That's some old-school defense.
19:52Just telling them, no easy layups.
19:55As simple as that.
19:56And I like to see it.
19:57The first one falls.
20:08Both shots good from the stripe.
20:11And if you're just joining us, we've played just over a minute here in the third.
20:15Now, a timeout called by Phoenix.
20:18Yeah, Coach wants to get everybody on the same page out there.
20:21Maybe change up some things as well.
20:23Yeah, that's probably a good timeout.
20:25You might as well talk things through.
20:26Yeah, and kind of change that game plan as well.
20:49Now, here's Whitcomb.
20:52Shot by Brown.
20:53No good.
20:56Pass to you, Haas.
21:00And she makes good on the layup.
21:03Nice pass.
21:04She got that ball right into her teammate's shooting pocket.
21:07And it yielded great results.
21:09Now, here's Whitcomb.
21:12The Mercury with another miss.
21:15She's gotten pulled.
21:16And I'm not sure she's the best option offensively.
21:18As it looks to cut this deficit.
21:21Really left alone that time.
21:23They're getting a lot of their points outside the paint.
21:26Three of their last five buckets are from three-point range.
21:29The defense, they have to close out quicker.
21:32Now, here's Brown.
21:34Ten points for her.
21:38Pass to Whitcomb.
21:41Kick out to Bonner.
21:42Shot clock at six.
21:44And she can't answer back.
21:46The three-pointer offline.
21:48Still cold from the field at the start of this third quarter.
21:51One of four so far.
21:52Good work there as it goes.
21:54It's not hard to see why they're giving up points on this run.
21:57Just too many looks from in close.
22:00You know, usually when teams give up runs like this,
22:02it's because they allow chances from inside.
22:05Make them beat you from deep.
22:08And offensively, one for five.
22:10It's a low start here in the second half.
22:13Juhas.
22:14Back to Van der Sloot.
22:19Bonner defending.
22:20Brown grabs the board.
22:30Back to Thomas.
22:34And the bucket counts.
22:36And she's on her way to the line to try to make it a three-point play.
22:43At the bottom of the field, Alyssa Thomas.
22:47One shot.
22:50One shot.
23:08Here's Juhas.
23:10That's the Thomas with the rebound.
23:16Third quarter of basketball here.
23:18A little under three and a half minutes gone now.
23:20Count that bucket.
23:22Took advantage of some shoddy D there.
23:25They got to at least get a finger on her.
23:35Here's Juhas.
23:37And it's Phoenix with the rebound.
23:39Yeah, she's not necessarily a strong interior presence, but she's got to finish those chances if she has it.
23:46And since getting drafted all the way back in 2009, DeJuana Bonner has been so consistent.
23:53You look back at her career numbers, she's averaged double figures every year.
23:57Last season, 15 points per game.
23:59That's better than her career average.
24:01And she did that at 36 years old.
24:03Bonner, timeless, unreal.
24:07No good there with the step-back J.
24:13She's covered by Brown.
24:15Chalk up two right there.
24:18Three consecutive field goals have come right at the rim.
24:21The defense better start buckling down.
24:23They're getting exposed and punished down low.
24:27Now, here's Whitcomb.
24:30Out to the right wing.
24:32Bonner outside.
24:37Banked in off the glass.
24:39Once Bonner gets inside, it's already too late.
24:43She takes advantage of opportunities around the basket.
24:55Both teams will make substitutions.
25:10Pass to Pow Pow.
25:13And that one good.
25:15That's their third straight make off an assist.
25:18And it's always good when you can score points by getting teammates involved.
25:22Yeah, that's just great ball movement.
25:24Bonner outside.
25:26Pulls it.
25:28Misses the jumper.
25:30Didn't see that miss coming.
25:31She's usually so good from that ring.
25:33Great play to sacrifice her body.
25:36Take the charge.
25:38Giving up her body for the team.
25:40And really a heads-up play as well.
25:42Bell reads the play nicely and gets in the perfect position.
25:53Williams.
25:55Pass to Mac.
25:56Puts up a three.
25:58And Bell pulls it down.
26:00With the success they've had in rebounding to basketball, they're right where you'd expect them to be.
26:05And that's firmly in the driver's seat.
26:07Rebounding.
26:08It's an effort stack.
26:10They've been the more determined team to this point.
26:14And it's the Mercury with the ball.
26:16A 12-point game.
26:21Outside Williams.
26:24The Mercury with another miss.
26:30She's covered by Thomas.
26:33Pass to Johadis.
26:35The floater.
26:37That shot off.
26:38And here at the end of the third quarter, it's a double-digit ball game.
26:42They lead by 12.
26:45And right after this, we'll bring you the start of the final quarter here on 2K Sports.
27:08And we're getting underway in the fourth quarter.
27:10That scoreboard tells the story in this matchup.
27:13But we'll see how much things can change.
27:24And here's Williams.
27:27Pass to Mack.
27:29And she comes up with the deuce.
27:32Unstoppable offense for both teams.
27:33I love the pace of this game.
27:35Yeah, the pace is only picking up the deeper we get into this game.
27:38This has absolutely been a fun one to watch.
27:41And the basket is good.
27:43Nicely done.
27:44And the continue to attack inside.
27:45That's 10 points in a row from the paint.
27:48It's now become a here it comes and see if you can stop it.
27:52Bibi.
27:53It's good.
27:54And she drew the contact on the shot.
27:56So she'll go to the line.
27:58A three-point play opportunity.
28:01At the line for another green.
28:04It's always Bibi.
28:05One shot.
28:20Here's Vandersloot.
28:21Pass to Johannes.
28:25And the layup is good.
28:26Some defensive breakdowns happening now.
28:30Their last four buckets allowed have come from very close range.
28:34And giving up these high percentage shot attempts, it's not going to get it done.
28:38They need to figure it out.
28:42Back.
28:43Can't get it to go.
28:45A little over a minute of the fourth quarter gone now.
28:49Pass to Bell.
28:50From beyond the arc.
28:51And she's good on the three balls.
28:54Another pass put right into the shooter's pocket for a terrific assist.
28:59You know, they've done a lot of that today.
29:01And you know, it's something we haven't seen much at the opposite end of the court.
29:06So both teams changing it up here.
29:08Second team foul.
29:11Substitution on the play.
29:21Outside Williams.
29:23Mack.
29:26Pass to Brown.
29:28More on the shot clock.
29:29Good for another bucket.
29:32She's made half a dozen now.
29:34Six for eight on the night.
29:35Well, she's been a bright spot in what has otherwise been a little bit of a struggle for this team.
29:41Bucket is good.
29:42Pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now.
29:46I mean, there's more holes in their defense than in a block of Swiss cheese.
29:51Man, you've made me hungry.
29:52But that's right.
29:53Five of the last six makes were in tight.
29:56They've established themselves inside.
29:58Where's the cheese?
29:59And when Alyssa Thomas is scoring like this, with everything else she does,
30:05she looks like the best player on the court.
30:07She's carrying a lot of the load offensively.
30:09And normally, that's good news for them.
30:12Now, here's Williams.
30:14And a foul called on Bambers.
30:17That's her first foul.
30:19And the next foul will put them in the bonus.
30:20And you know they'll be trying to draw that next one quickly,
30:23so they can start getting those easy chances at the line and get some easy buckets.
30:35A touch under two-and-a-half minutes of pass now here in the fourth.
30:39Thomas outside.
30:41Outside Whitcomb.
30:45Brown.
30:46Five on the clock.
30:47Thomas.
30:49They shoot again.
30:52Can't get the layup.
30:54It's a plus-five advantage for them in the rebounding category after that one.
30:58Very steady work did they do on the interior.
31:01Really, a well-rounded effort overall.
31:04And their lead gets even more enormous.
31:07They play terrific basketball at both ends.
31:11No doubt about it.
31:12I certainly can't think of an area where they've underperformed.
31:15And neither can I.
31:17The offensive rebound.
31:19And the basket by Brown.
31:21Well, she's shot a very good percentage today,
31:24and her team has needed every last bit of it.
31:49Trying to add a few more points to their lead.
31:51And it's not rocket science at this point.
31:53Just stay with what you've been doing.
31:57At the offensive end, she's done as much as they could have hoped for today.
32:03Out to the wing.
32:04Wide open look.
32:06The shot, no good.
32:15Whitcomb defending.
32:18Here's Pau Pau.
32:20DeJuan of Honor with the rebound.
32:22And the Mercury with possession.
32:25The three.
32:27No luck on that one.
32:32Now, Juhasz.
32:37Out to the wing.
32:41Pau Pau.
32:42Bonner defending.
32:44Pau Pau gets the bucket.
32:46And they're getting that lead way up there by now.
32:49It should be easy for them the rest of the way.
32:52Yeah, and at this late stage of a game,
32:54a lead like that has a team feeling awfully good.
32:57And the other one bad.
32:59Timeout called the Mercury.
33:24The ten-footer.
33:25Hold the shot a little left, but the bounce goes her way.
33:29She was one step ahead of the D in making that pass.
33:32Nice assist.
33:34They're enjoying a commanding lead.
33:36And you know the best part?
33:37It gives them an opportunity to give their starters a rest.
33:40Yeah, they might not have to come back in.
33:42Vandersloot.
33:43That's in for her eighth bucket tonight.
33:46A hot eight for 11 shooting night so far.
33:49With an array of moves at her disposal,
33:52Vandersloot's able to beat defenders in a number of ways.
33:56That's the type of lead pass we've really come to expect from her.
34:03Pass to Juhas.
34:07Pow, pow.
34:08Shoots over Bonner.
34:10And that shot falls short that time.
34:12A real defensive lapse there.
34:15She's not a player you can leave open for a jump shot.
34:18They're lucky she didn't punish him there.
34:22Here's Vandersloot.
34:23Eyes up, eyes up.
34:25You're up, eyes up.
34:27Hold on the screen.
34:28Hold on the screen.
34:29Outside for Pow Pow.
34:31Vandersloot.
34:35Pass to Pow Pow.
34:39Just five on the clock.
34:40And it's Phoenix with the rebound.
34:46Right side Whitcomb to the inside.
34:49And the basket by Brown.
34:51Just such an intelligent distributor.
34:53Thomas has an amazing feel for when she should distribute the rock.
34:58There's a four-second difference from the shot clock and game clock.
35:05Outside Whitcomb.
35:08And a miss there with a chance to cut the lead to single digits.
35:22And so they get the victory here at home tonight.
35:25Some good moments throughout this one.
35:27But they had the clear advantage down the stretch.
35:30Yeah.
35:30And they did a great job of execution.
35:32Both offensively, defensively, playing in control.
35:35Where they had a misstep.
35:36They got right back to work.
35:38They made up for it.
35:40And that's a wrap, everyone.
35:41And they had a superpower.
35:43He's all done.
35:43On.
35:46On.
35:47On.
35:47On.
35:47On.
35:48On.
35:48On.
35:48On.
