She took a couple of tumbles/slips  to the floor and that was kind of scary.
I'm not sure we disagree.  I thought that foul was the most obvious of the day, while the others were mostly closer calls.  What I was disputing in general was the announcer's critique that Brink showed bad defensive discipline.  I think the issue is more nuanced than that--especially when learning that 3/5 of the fouls were on help defense and not on her primary target.  What this means is that Brink fouled out largely because other players could not complete their assignments.  I did not realize that myself until looking at them one by one.

Especially six seconds after Key’s second foul. Would’ve had a significant advantage on the floor but for that cheap foul.
