[ShmiCO]

25-25 1st q.

Sims getting her game back. For ATL Laney looks so good this year. Nice moves and motor. Of course, Crystal Dangerfield blew by her with a sick behind the back crossover for the first points of the quarter.

Chennedy Carter getting some PT too. Glad to see her back.

 

[MilfordHusky]

45-33, Minny. Crystal is the leading scorer with 14. She just got Chennedy in foul trouble.

 

[ShmiCO]

51-43 at the half. Crystal leads all scorers with 16. Phee has 11pt, 5 reb (3 oboards!), and 3 blocks.

 

[eebmg]

The last bucket by Crystal was classic just before half. Get out of the way and let me score.

Stats say Pheesa has 3 blocks.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Minny led Atlanta at halftime over the weekend and lost. They need to keep the pressure up.

51-43 MIN end of half

Dangerfield 16 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl
Sims 10 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast in 14 min off the bench

Laney 15 pts, 1 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crystal is +10. Phee is +12, and Bridget is +13, best on the team.

Blake Dietrick has hit 2 treys and is +11 for Atlanta.

Crystal's foul line jumper is outstanding.

 

[ShmiCO]

Stats say Pheesa has 3 blocks.

That's 50% better than my report. Awesome!

 

[Kaizen]

Crystal 20 pts, Phessa 15 pts ....73 - 64

 

[ShmiCO]

I hope the Lynx can come away with the W. Lead down to 6 points.... ATL still in the hunt.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Atlanta cuts the deficit to 6 on another trey by Dietrick.

 

[Shades]

Sims up to 17-7-8 now.

I don’t think she’ll reach the triple dub, but it should be close.

 

[Shades]

Atlanta cuts the deficit to 6 on another trey by Dietrick.

She’s a Lynx killer.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I notice nobody is mentioning Dangerfield's shooting numbers. 6-20 from the floor, w/ 2 assists. That's the kind of stat line that Ogunbowale would get killed for on this site. Just sayin'.

Ogunbowale was a #5 pick.

 

[MilfordHusky]

17/7/9 for Odyssey.

Crystal was cold in the 2nd half but still had 23.

Phee had 19/12.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crystal was 5-10 in the 1st half and 1-11 in the 2nd half. Some of the second half shots were good, some were too difficult. But no one else for Minny was scoring and the team maintained their lead, which was built when Crystal had 14 in Q2.

Crystal was +11. Carter was -25.

I really like the forward combination of Collier and Carleton with Herbert-Harrigan the primary backup. All three have wing/guard skills, Carleton is strong, Kiki athletic, Napheesa both. Dantas is remembering how to play more inside with Syl still out; not sure how I feel about McCall as the primary backup there. She's certainly talented, but is still really inconsistent.

Odyssey finally showed up tonight. I liked the rotation of Dangerfield, Lexie and Banham; Banham doesn't seem to be playing much since Odyssey returned. I think they have four solid guards there.

The Lynx really just need to clean things up a bit to threaten to reach the finals.

I don't know Fowles status, but imagine if she can return for the finals. That would be a fun ride.

It seems as if you look forward to remind BYers when someone has an off shooting game. If a UConn player does that on a consistent basis something should be said.
