LV w/ a slight 14-11 edge in bench scoring.

Stokes didn't score, but grabbed 9 boards and had 3 assists.
 
Sparks w/ a huge win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
 
Hats off to Canada w/ the double-double 11 pts/12 assists. Sykes w/ 21, she's really been playing well lately. Samuelson found her shot again.

I'm not saying that there aren't poorly officiated games. (I only saw the last 3 minutes of this game on my phone -- I think the whistle for the foul on Cloud's 3 was .1 or .2 seconds after the clock ran out, but TerpWomenFan could be referring to many other calls or no-calls). I just asked you which calls -- just because there's a short-term disparity in fouls called, it may or may not be a poorly officiated game.
 
If Minnesota wins as a moderate favorite (Atlanta without Hayes, AD, Billings, Coffey, & Wallace -- 8 on active roster including Mompremier & Vaughn) tonight, there will be 5 teams battling for 2 spots within 1 game of each other with 3 to play (4 for NY).

Cloud shot was after time expired so that was a good call. Lots of fouls called where there were no contact. Also fouls that were not called such as the foul on Austin on the layup that Cloud got the tech on. Also no foul on ONO throwing her elbows on the last rebound.

Thanks for the clarification. The only one of those that I saw was ONO and I agree with you.

Great energy by her in the 4th

Quinn should have been gone at the end of last year. Seattle is a hot mess, taking out your best defensive player was a bad idea.
Jewell has been terrible shooting almost all year. Gabby should not be a starter, if Bonner can play the 3 that's where Stewie should be, Ezi at center, and Tina at the 4.
Ezi gives you far better defense, and can score in double figures.
Gabby as she was when Connecticut had the Big 3 is good off the bench.

Just read that Phee is suiting up tonight
 
Huh. Minny take a BIG chance with their chemistry this late in the season.

I think that the chemistry will be fine. They are currently 12-20 and are 5-5 in their last 10

I guess they want maximum overlap between Syl and Naphessa. They seem to be tied at the hip 2 fouls each. Moriah almost recovered from the hyper extended knee early in July.

Look at Seattle 3 and 4 since they took Ezi out of the starting lineup. The only players that are sure to be there next year are Loyd and Russell. Wouldn't be surprised if Lauren doesn't tell Ezi to stay in Australia rather then go back to Seattle.
They definitely need to get rid of the coaching staff, and the Person who took over as GM should be gone too.
Trading Lou for Gabby was a mistake, 144,000 for Gabby and half that for Lou.
And as much as Seattle has a problem on offense Lou would have helped.
There was a reason Chicago never made Gabby part of the regular rotation, she isn't great at any one thing, and hurts on offense.

Unfortunately, no guarantees with Russell

That's true and another reason they shouldn't have taken Ezi out of the lineup.
She was the future star and contributed more to the team this year, then anyone but Stewie.
