What did you tell her at halftime? Well, it was kind of a little bit of like the game plan of just staying patient. Yeah. You know, because Gabby is such a fierce scorer. And so we thought like if we just stayed patient, waited for her moments, that was probably going to be key. So we really wanted like V, all the other starters to kind of start us off. So if you notice like V was really, really aggressive. Kia Stokes was ready. Tapes got downhill. Kai Charles actually got downhill quickly. So yeah, we just said stay patient. And then she just erupted. I mean, she went off. That second half performance was probably the best performance. I mean, it was Michael Jordan-esque. Like, that was amazing. Like, and we just said, keep throwing her the rock, keep throwing her the rock. Yeah. Yeah, she closed for us.
