Wings Stun Aces, Fever Slide, and Commissioner’s Cup Preview | Double Drivel Ep. 5

Sylvia and Madeleine recap episode five of their WNBA podcast with game highlights, league stats, a Commissioner’s Cup preview, “Says Who,” and couch picks/swish list. The Wings beat the defending champion Aces 95–87 behind Jessica Shepard’s 22-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist triple-double, with strong games from Azzi (22) and Paige (20); they discuss Alanna Smith’s absence/struggles and praise Shepard as a key addition. The Fever went 0–2 (now 4–4), losing a close road game to the Valkyries and getting blown out 100–84 by Portland, with foul trouble, tense coaching exchanges, and bench scoring as a bright spot. They run through standings and league leaders (including Shepard in rebounds, Engstler in blocks, Clark in assists), play a quote-guessing game, explain Commissioner’s Cup rules/prizes, and pick upcoming games (Wings over Storm/Sparks; Fever vs Dream and at Liberty).
