Phessa and Crystal will start ....

These two announcers are bad. The score was 13 to 11 and the man said the lead was cut to a dozen. He and Peck were the same way the last game they did together. Just venting.

18-17 MIN end of first.

Hard to believe Minnesota is leading in this one.

Fowles only played 3 min in the first; Dantas 5 min.
Johnson out with a hammy after 5 min.
Banham with 3 fouls but she has to stay out there.

I guess it’s a good thing Minnesota picked up McCall.

42-35 CON at the half

Bonner 18 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast

Collier 13 pts, 6 reb, 1 ast

Crystal starting to light it up 2 straight patented long range 3's and a few drives into the teeth of the defense.

Edit. Crystal nails a 3rd 3 pointer to give the Lynx a 61-60 lead after 3Q.

Phessa and Crystal both have 15 pts ...Lynx 61 Sun 60, end of 3Q.

Minnesota up 7 with 3:42 left. Can they hold on? This is when they usually start choking.

Wow, Sun fall to 0-4. Bonner might be taking a run at leading the league in scoring, but it isn't doing much good so far.

I mean this as a very high compliment--Collier had a Nneka kinda of game. 17 points/9 boards 7-7 from the floor 3-4 from the FT line. About as efficient as you can get. Also 4 assists 4 blocks, but 7 TOs.

Got to admit, the TO's are really weird. Pheesa has had alot of these high TO games but I guess you live with that as long as she is aggressive

Crystal had an excellent game with almost all damage in 2nd half again

Nobody from a losing team has ever been awarded the MVP of the league.

Did anyone else notice?: The camera cut over several times during stoppages to Crystal talking to Katie Smith or Cheryl Reeve on the sideline. Just as she did at UConn. Sylvia Fowles referred to Crystal as a sponge.

She's gonna be a lot of fun to watch for years to come.

That motor don’t stop.

"Well, Pheesa wants to lead the team in all categories and Pheesa leads the team in Turnovers and it is not even close:
