The Minnesota Lynx Rally Late But Come Up Short To The Sun (89-84)

The Minnesota Lynx Rally Late But Come Up Short To The Sun (89-84)

The Minnesota Lynx came into this game against the Connecticut Sun without Diamond Miller as she injured her ankle in Dallas.

This would be a tall task as the Lynx are still trying to find their 1st win of the season. With Miller out and on crutches that leaves a lot of extra minutes on the vets on the team like Collier/McBride.

The Lynx came out with that competitive fire and were able to get things going their way early. They were able to get Brionna Jones in foul trouble and they were able to slow down Alyssa Thomas. The spark for the Sun came from Natisha Hiedeman as she was able to create and generate offense. A lot of Natisha’s buckets were attacking or if she was left alone on a blown coverage. She finished with 19 points and 6 assists on the night as she gave them a huge lift. Alyssa Thomas was sensational to the point that her game just looks effortless. One minute she’s struggling and the next minute you look up and she has a double-double working on a triple double. Thomas was able to make some big plays and buckets for the Sun. Thomas put the team on her back and carried them to the win as it started in the 3rd quarter with that 12-0 run. Thomas finished the game with 16 points, 16 assists, and 9 rebounds on the night. She was all over the court and the stat sheet as the Lynx didn’t have an answer.

The bright spot for the Lynx came in the middle of the 3rd quarter heading into the 4th as Napheesa Collier started to get her offense going. Once Collier saw one go down she kept it going as she had the hot hand for the Lynx. She was able to space the floor and capitalize on some open looks because of poor defense. Her 3 point shot was on tonight and Collier was able to finish with 30 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds. Collier admitted she has to get in the paint more for rebounds and the Lynx will need that to happen too. You can’t win the game when the opposite team has too many 2nd chance points. The Lynx had this game in reach and let it slip away.

The Lynx go against the Washington Mystics on Saturday as they look to get into the win column.

Minnesota Lynx Drop Home Opener Against The Chicago Sky (77-66)

The Minnesota Lynx had a lot of hype for them coming into tonight’s game. That hype was real because Collier, McBride, and Miller all have one goal in common which is to be champs. The Lynx were without Lindsay Allen their point guard tonight as she was nursing a hamstring injury. These teams clashed earlier this month and with it being for meaningful games now it was going to be intense.

 

The Lynx came out swinging in this game as Napheesa Collier was impacting the games on both ends of the floor with her defense and offense. It didn’t look like she missed a step at all out there on the court tonight because she looked elite. Collier finished the game with 17 points, 2 assists, and 5 rebounds.

 

This is a good sign for all Minnesota Lynx fans that we’re watching the game tonight and it gives the fans hope that the team will turn things around for the better. Kayla McBride was able to knock down a couple of his shots tonight and really had her offense going in the second half. Kayla finished with 12 points, 1 assist, and 5 rebounds. The two veterans led the way for this team as they know there will be some rough patches in the road.

 

Tonight was one of those rough patches as they only scored 3 points total in the 2nd quarter alone. Diamond Miller didn’t have the outing we all expected from her especially off her amazing preseason performances but she’s still getting her feet wet too.

 

The Chicago Sky came into Minnesota tonight and took that win from them and weren’t giving it back. Elizabeth Williams was a dominant force in the paint as she was blocking, rebound, and even stealing the ball. Her activity was one of the reasons that the Sky won the game and it was huge.

 

The player of the game was Kahleah Copper and she took this one over. Copper finished with 20 points, 5 assists, and 7 rebounds. It seemed as though anything that she put up was going in and she kept the pressure on the referees all night long. Copper was scoring inside and outside which was tough for a Lynx team that’s trying to figure things out on the fly.

 

The Lynx made some mistakes tonight but it’s all about making the adjustments and fixing the the issues before they get worse which I believe they will. The Minnesota Lynx play the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday as they try to get their first win of the WNBA season.

This weekend was all about the WNBA and celebrating the greatness displayed on the court. Both Sylvia Fowles and Sue Bird played in their final WNBA All-Star Game today. Both played minimum minutes today but were celebrated by the whole basketball community as a whole for their contributions to the game. The All-Star Game was very competitive as (Team Wilson beat Team Stewart) 134-112. Team Wilson was led by the All-Star MVP Kelsey Plum who dropped 30 points and was knocking everything down.

 

 

The All-Stars put on a show for the fans and were rocking some dope heat while doing it. The WNBA players usually have a lot of heat to display especially when the NBA season is over. Certain players in the WNBA rock certain NBA players’ sneakers for example (Sue Bird – Nike Kyrie). So when we are missing seeing some of our favorite player’s PEs that’s when the ladies come in to save the day every time. WNBA players have crazy PE heat and regular heat that we wanted to showcase after today’s All-Star Game. Let us know below who had the best sneakers for today and why.
