On the mind of many after the game was Bird. The basketball legend announced in June that the 2022 season would be her last. The 13-time All-Star finished with eight points and eight assists in 36 minutes.

"Kinda weird. Definitely surreal. I think initially ... I felt sad about the season and the game. And I then think as the emotions started to come to the surface that was also what I know deep down in that was my last game," Bird said after the loss.

Fans chanted "Thank you, Sue!" at the end of the game, leaving the Storm star emotional.

"I also wanted to kind of have one last moment to say thank you, to soak it all in because in some ways, it is a happy thing. I'm proud of everything we’ve accomplished here," she added.
