Did Maya score in the 4th quarter?

No. Minnesota had 2 points as a team in the 4th when they emptied the bench (a Whalen layup on a drive). The Lynx bench then scored nine points in 1:30.
 
Looking for a final score with 19.4 to go

Diana has 31 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists...my pick for player of the game...let's see what happens

Final Phoenix 96 - Lynx 78...congrats Western Conference Champs!!!

minny didn't score for 7 minutes towards the end of the game. Sad.
Tonight, Phoenix showed that they had what it takes to get the job done. Congratulations to them.
They haven't announced player of the game, but I need to sign off. My vote hasn't changed.
 
Shots from behind the midcourt line ought to count at least 4, mebbe 6. Incidentally, BG was also magnificent.

No she didn't - just ran in for half time, as if that's just the way it's s'posed to be. Later they interviewed her and asked her about the "prayer", and she said "Whaaa? That wasn't a prayer, that was a SHOT."

Same face this time
 
My congrats to Phoenix, what a performance, and a shame that the Lynx melted down in the final quarter - an anticlimatic end to a great series.

I fully expect that the finals will be a similar story - Phoenix in three.

I stand corrected, my memory is a little fuzzy... it was a long time ago
 
In Game 2, for whatever reason, DT was the distributor and was too often the second or third option on offense. With her game lacking tempo her shooting was very off. The real Phoenix game and DT showed up last night. I agree with those who think DT is the best player in the game today. Maya carried her team this year and deserves MVP recognition, but in overall game and team contributions, DT is still The One. She has me soaring high this AM.

I believe you are referring to that 60+ footer she nailed vs. Tennessee at halftime a few years ago.

My recollection is that when asked, later, if that was a favorite spot to shoot from, she said, "Yeah, but at the other basket."

"Booing? I thought they were mooing."

DT had a great game 3, but she was not the "distributor" in game 2 as she took 10 more shots than the teammate with the next most shot attempts and 15 more shots than Griner. DT took 6 more shots in game 2 than she had in game 3 and she had more assists in game 3 than she did in game 2. I felt that she took too many shots in game 2 and game 3 was a much better number of shots and much better shot selection.

Yeah, think your recollection is correct. (Except the mooing was in Knoxville)
 
When it's prime time and the money is on the line, there is DT.

She has done it at every major level of basketball competition, from D1, to the national team and into the pro ranks. No basketball player of either gender has her resume when it comes to huge performances in the biggest games across all 3 levels leading to multiple championships.

Not only her personal statistics, but her ability to elevate her teammates, especially when it means the most, makes her the No.1 "big time" player on our planet.

As the game wore on DT took more shots. I didn't say she was not shooting ... but in first half at least she was passing and ending up 2d or 3rd option and out of rhythm and she never got into it. We can agree to disagree on this.

And it is exactly this, and especially this year, that sets her above all others, and should have been the deciding factor that should have given her player of the year over Maya. IMO, of course

(shoulda woulda coulda....listen to me go on...)

Done is done, and I love Maya and I love her game.

c'est la vie
