Whalen also made the game's biggest defensive play to seal the victory. With 4 seconds left, the Silver Stars ran an inbound play on Minnesota's end of the court, looking for the game-winning shot, but Whalen tipped Danielle Robinson's entry pass to Maya Moore, who dribbled out the clock for the win.
