Maya came to play today. 12 points on 5-5 shooting approaching halftime. All tied up at 31.

Whalen and Brunson haven't played yet. Maybe being held out so they can get a little bit of rest?

39-38 Lynx leading at halftime. Maya leading everybody with 15 points. Sloot on her way to another double double w/ 6 points and 6 assists.

Brunson is out with a broken nose (from Tiffany Hayes).
Whalen is out for rest.

Maya is having a strong offensive night. Syl, though, seems to have lost her MVP form.

Tiff is usually the victim!

I was watching USA v. Canada, but this looks more interesting. Maya is winning the shoot-out with Quigley, 28-22.

With just over 5:00 left and Minny up by 20, Chicago got the ball and threw a long pass to Sloot for a layup. Maya sprinted the length of the floor and missed blocking the shot by just inches. Vintage Maya. She is finished for the night, with 31 points.

Maya back to playing the way she is capable of after a rough week last week.

The Sky are in disarray. I blame the coach. What is wrong with Stef, she looks lost out there. Last year she had a really good season. This year she is playing like it's her rookie season. Why didn't she post up and go after Big Sly, it seems she has lost confidence her post moves.

To me, she doesn’t seem in good enough shape to handle this year’s compacted season (34 games in 93 days).

A quiet night for Gabby, BUT her 8 rebounds were way ahead of 2nd place.
