Mercury vs Lynx Game 2 on ABC at 3:30pm est

[RadyLady]

Brunson again for 2 - am I spelling her name right?
Griner for 2....trasing baskets, lead fluctuates from 6 to 4

 

[RadyLady]

End of the quarter, 62 - 56 Phoenix....great game for both teams!

 

[RadyLady]

WOW - 65 - 64 Phoenix, and they just turned over the ball.

Still a lot of time, anything could happen. Augustus just got Minny their first lead!

 

[RadyLady]

Phoenix misses their first shot in the paint of the game(!), and maya sinks a 3
- 69 - 65 LYNX

 

[RadyLady]

Griner gets big rebound and sinks a 2 on the other end. Tan white misses, another griner rebound.

Taurasi zooms to the basket score tied, 4:31 to go.

Time out.

What a fun game.

 

[RadyLady]

Ally oops pass to griner misses the mark, (not really an Ally oop, but close), and Augustus is shooting free throws.

Both teams shooting free throws well...and as soon as they say it, Seimone misses.

Griner with some GREAT defense but then gets double teamed and turns the ball over.

Seimone shooting again, misses the first.

Score is tied up at 71

 

[RadyLady]

Moore is guarding Taurasi, what a matchup!! If you missed this game, you have got to watch it!

Seimone is again shooting two and makes both!

Phoenix has gone cold from the floor, score is 73 - 71 with 1:47 to go

The place is ROCKIN'

 

[RadyLady]

Bet it goes into overtime

 

[RadyLady]

Lynx misses, and Maya fouls Diana who shoots and makes 2. All tied up again. 1:13 to go

 

[RadyLady]

Maya shoots over Griner for 2 to again take the lead!

 

[RadyLady]

You know, everyone is having a great game. I'm enjoying it because I really like both teams so whoever wins is good for me.

 

[RadyLady]

smooth move to the basket and Phoenix ties it back up.

Diana and Maya are GOING AT IT

 

[RadyLady]

with 30 seconds to go, Seimone takes a pass from Lyndsey, shoots for two and gets fouled. Minny now up 3

23.3 seconds to go....

 

[RadyLady]

I want another game

 

[RadyLady]

Wow - Dupree misses her shot and no blue jerseys under the basket. They foul Maya right away.

16.2 seconds to go.

They went in. It's Maya.

80 - 75

 

[RadyLady]

Another miss, another foul and Brunson hits 2 free throws.

Dee's last second 2 points is counted.
And we are done

82 - 72...

Very quick handshake line. Not a lot of hugs.

Great game, hard fought , Lynx able to make some key plays to close it out.

Loved Maya's big shots !!!

Great game, hard fought , Lynx able to make some key plays to close it out.

Loved Maya's big shots !!!

She certainly redeemed herself in this game. 9 points the other day was her lowest scoring output this year I think. She had 32 today.

And Maya guarding DT was something to watch. WOW.

 

[RadyLady]

Not a great game for Penny Taylor, she had foul trouble the whole game ending up with 5 and only 7 points. Dee and Dupree carried the Merc with some Grinder thrown in from time to time with 14 points and a few blocks. Maya (34), Seimone (23) and Lyndsey (17) did almost all of it for the Lynx. I thought that Brunson has more, but she had only 4. It looked like more.

Great game, fun game to watch.

 

[Goodies07]

72 of the Lynx's 82 scored by Maya, Lindsey and Seimone. They'll need more contributions from the periphery if they expect to win game 3. But this was one of the best playoff games I have ever seen. The emotion, drama, offensive AND defensive performances. It had everything.

I am so glad there will be one more game. These two teams provide must-watch TV.

Did anyone doubt that Maya would have a bounce-back game? Maya v. Diana is like Jordan vs. Magic.

Thank you, m'Lady for the running report. I was desperately trying to get the game on *(%&*)&^^% ILive, but all I could get was a bunch of rotten popups. I wasn't all that happy with the outcome, but maybe it is best to have another game. It sounds like this one left little to be desired from a fan's perspective, and WNBA needs all the positive advetising they can get. Game 3 promises to be a barn=burner.

And did you see another one of those Maya/Jordan -esque jumpers? Today it was just inside the 3-pt arc toward the end of the game. Nothing but nylon

You are very welcome. I will not be able to see the Tuesday game - unless it is at 10 pm which I am hoping. Still, I will miss some of it. It was fun to watch. You should never underestimate great teams who have a bad game. they will fight back for sure, and they certainly did today.
