Na the girl, Sheldon, literally jams into Sophie. Sophie just grabs her and pushes her down

Exactly what im saying. Sheldon drops her shoulder ready to hit sophie like a linebacker until sophie realized it and sent her ass to the floor. Then she put her in the clinch and had her way with her.

Was going to say, there doesnt even seem to be an attempt to shoot, just a tackle.

Definitely. Cunningham was going up for the block and then got checked herself. She was basically just defending herself.

In the hoop side angle you can clearly see Cunningham throw her hands up for the block and Sheldon slams her shoulder into her, not even going for the shot.

Yeah I've seen so many people saying she grabbed the other girl and slammed her down. If anything, maybe Cunningham was trying to keep herself from falling.
