Cheryl pecks Toni's lips for good luck, smiling at her girlfriend once they pull away. "You got this game, Ma beauté."

"Even though I don't have no idea what you're saying, I love it when you speak another language to me." the brunette holds her by the waist.

"Oh really?" the model raises a ginger eyebrow. "Mhmm." Toni bites her lip. "It's hot." she then adds.

"I'll keep that in mind." her girl laughs softly. Before Toni could speak, Sami waves her over. "Stop flirting with your girlfriend and let's go."

Toni flips her off as they lock eyes. Sami emits a laugh before turning back to Cyrstal. The brunette faces her girl once more and sighs. "I gotta go kick some ass, baby."

"Do it, Mon trésor." the model giggles. She places one more firm peck on the athlete's lips before detaching herself from her. "Get that win, baby." she swats her butt playfully.

Toni laughs while watching her girlfriend sit down. She goes over to Elaine, who is seemingly into her phone. "Wish me some luck, momma."

The older brunette looks up at her daughter with a loving smile. "Come here, my love." she stands up and opens her arms. Toni smiles and doesn't hesitate to embrace her mother. She sighs in contentment, happy to have her mother back.

"I was worried you'd like those kids more than me." her daughter jeers.

"Oh, be quiet. You know I love you more than anything. I already have two amazing daughters, I don't need anyone else." Elaine squeezes her tight after rubbing her Jersey clad back.

Coach pen calls the brunette over so she excuses herself from her mother, after pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Alright, ladies. This is game five. They're already in the lead from last week's game, but we can't let it stay that way for long, can we?"

"No." the athletes reply dryly. Penelope shakes her head. "I said can we let it stay that way for long!?"

"No!" they grow excited.

"Exactly! So you amazing women get out there and beat some LA ass! Am I understood!?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Good!" the woman replies. Another coach comes up with her clipboard and they share a brief conversation before Penelope turns to face the players again.

"Okay, starting five is Topaz, Whitcomb, Allen, Howard, and Richards."

"Let's go!" DiDi smirks, sharing a high five with Rebecca.

"Get out there and give it your all, ladies." one of the other coaches encourages.

"Lady Liberty on three. One...two...three!"

"Lady liberty!" their screams overbears the cheers emitting from the stands.

"Welcome back to the WNBA playoffs. I'm Debbie Antonelli and this is game five."

"Starting five for New York Liberty; Toni Topaz, Sami Whitcomb, Rebecca Allen, DiDi Richards, and Natasha Howard."

"Starting five for LA sparks; Lexie Brown, Jasmine Walker, Kristi Toliver, Jordin Canada, and Rae Burell."

DiDi stands on the large LA sparks logo in the middle of the court as the referee holds the ball between her and Jasmine. The ball is thrown into the air and DiDi falls short of knocking it towards her team.

Jasmine bounces the ball as her team follows her towards their hoop. She is quickly guarded by DiDi, who is determined to get the ball. The dark skin woman waves her hands around to keep the ball in their space.
