LaMelo Ball is set to receive his third signature sneaker with the Puma Brand. The MB.03 is expected to launch in October. 

It seems like the first colorway that will be available to the public is the “Toxic” colorway. The “GutterMelo” colorway was released in August but was available to purchase as an NFT which then gained access to buying the real product. But the “Toxic” colorway features a patterned upper dressed in purple, pink and green. The midsole comes dressed in pink with the outsole being a bright green color the outsole also stretches onto the upper and also has Lamelos signature phrase “Rare” on the outsoles. The Puma branding on the heels are shown in the same green as the outsole and the LaMelo branding in pink like the midsole. 

There is no official release date yet but they are expected to be released in October before the start of the 2023/24 NBA Season. For now take a look down below at the MB.03 “Toxic”.

Breanna Stewart’s 38 Point Performance Propels The Liberty Over Minnesota (111-76)

Breanna Stewart’s 38 Point Performance Propels The Liberty Over Minnesota (111-76)

The Minnesota Lynx came into this game off their back to back wins against the Wings. Tonight they were going to have to deal with Breanna Stewart and company all night.

The Liberty came into Minnesota on a mission and Breanna Stewart put on one of the best individual performances of the season. Stewart was hitting everything she put up it looked like and she was able to get aggressive on the rebounds too. One thing about Breanna Stewart is when she has her game going there’s nothing that can be done because she has the length and IQ to beat her defenders. Stewart set the tone for the Liberty tonight finishing with 38 and 11 rebounds. The Liberty took advantage of the Lynx 13 turnovers tonight. This Liberty team is now 27-7 for a reason on the season and showed that they’re ready for the postseason especially coming off the Commissioners Cup.

The Liberty had 4 scorers in double figures tonight and surprisingly Jonquel Jones wasn’t one of them. The other players around her made up for the most of the scoring/rebounding tonight.

On the Minnesota Lynx side of things it was good to see Diamond Miller get back into a groove offensively. She was able to hit some 3 pointers and get that confidence going heading into the next game against Washington. The Lynx weren’t able to slow down Stewart but this was a game they needed because it’s not always going to be easy in the W. The only scorers in double figures for the Lynx were Miller and Collier. The Lynx had too many turnovers in this game and you can’t win like that at all. Diamond Miller finished with 18 and 9 rebounds on the night but look for this Lynx team to bounce back in a major way against the Mystics next.

Minnesota Lynx Grind Out The Victory Against Dallas Wings (91-86)

Minnesota Lynx Grind Out The Victory Against Dallas Wings (91-86)

The Minnesota Lynx came into this game after the loss to Seattle ready to get back in the win column. It started with effort and energy tonight as the Lynx showed up ready to protect their house against a great Dallas team.

Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride put the team on their backs tonight. It started with Napheesa Collier as she was able to get to her spots whenever she wanted. Napheesa was able to make her jumpers, layups, and she got to the line all night. Collier came out and set the tone with her energy/gameplay. Collier finished the game with 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. Kayla was able to hit her shots as well and the great thing is that the defense brought out the offense. Kayla has been able to defend at a high level and she was able to slow down Arike tonight. McBride was able to get to her spots while being able to get teammates involved. The Minnesota Lynx are 5-0 when both Collier/McBride score over 20 points. Tonight McBride finished with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Dallas didn’t get the win but Satou Sabally showed all of her skills tonight from the jump. She was making it tough on the Lynx whether it was her scoring, rebounding, and passing. Satou was able to do it all but things got chippy when she got flagrant fouled twice which caused her to get injured. Satou wasn’t able to finish the game and as she exited fans were cheering which was completely distasteful. Satou blew kisses to the crowd and a couple of fans got tossed as well for being disrespectful. Satou finished the game with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists. Arike was able to carry the load late when the Satou was out of the game and hit some incredible jumpers. Arike was able to put the Wings on her back to bring the game within 1 at one point in the final minute. Arike finished with 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists. Overall the Wings out rebounded the Lynx and had more 2nd chance points but just couldn’t get it down late against Minnesota.

Both teams will be going at it again on Thursday except it will be in Dallas. As both teams gave it their all in the best game of the season I’ve seen by far from Minnesota.

Jewell Loyd Showcased Her Mamba Mentality As She Helped The Storm Defeat Minnesota (88-74)

Jewell Loyd Showcased Her Mamba Mentality As She Helped The Storm Defeat Minnesota (88-74)

The Minnesota Lynx were coming off a great victory against the Seattle Storm the other night. The Lynx wanted to repeat that same outcome tonight as the Storm made their way to Minnesota now. The Storm came out motivated and energetic this game as they showed they wanted it more.

Jewell Loyd came to Minnesota to win the game and she played like that the whole night. It seemed as if every time the Lynx made a shot or made a great play that Loyd came back on the other end with a tough fadeaway or a tough contested jumper. The way that Jewell was able to create space with her step back was on full display as it didn’t matter who was on her tonight. Jewell finished with 31 points on the night with 5 rebounds and 4 assists. When Jewell plays like she did tonight it is tough to beat the storm. The Storm showed a lot of energy and fight in this game from the beginning and it really showed in the 2nd chance points as they had 20 tonight. It comes down to just wanting it more and those hustle plays and loose balls matter especially in a game that was close for most of that 1st half. The bigs on the Storm Ezi and Mercedes created more opportunities for the Storm in the paint but the Lynx couldn’t match their energy tonight.

The Minnesota Lynx came out flat in this game as the intensity and energy wasn’t there on both ends tonight for a consistent period of time. The Lynx needed to be balanced and tonight it was tough for them to get going overall. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any positives because Kayla McBride was able to shine bright tonight with 18 points. What Kayla does for this team every night is amazing because she’s defending the best player (Jewell Loyd) but she’s still able to get her offense going as well for her team. Kayla’s one of the best players in the league and she let it be known that she loves the challenge of guarding a player like Loyd every night.

 

The Lynx offense tonight was flat but it’s just minor and it can be fixed the one thing that coach stressed was energy. So if they can come out clicking on all cylinders on Tuesday it should go their way. Diamond and Napheesa didn’t have their best games tonight but look for them to bounce back in the game on Tuesday against the Dallas Wings.
