How it turned back..
“We were up double figures, then went down double figures,’’ Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. “Sometimes it’s who you’re playing, meaning it’s a kind of style of play. … But, my goodness, it was maybe the worst basketball we’ve played of the season.’’
She was talking about a 10-minute, 21-second stretch that began right after Lexie Brown scored with 3:06 left in the first quarter to put the Lynx up 13.
After that? A 33-5 Dallas run that included 21 straight missed shots by the Lynx, a sudden lapse in the transition defense and a vulnerability in the paint.
It ended when Arike Ogunbowale scored on a layup with 2:45 left in the first half to put Dallas up 44-29.
Moments later Crystal Dangerfield hit a three-pointer. And from there, it was all Lynx.
Minnesota ended the half on a 12-5 run. Then the Lynx started the third quarter on fire, pushing that run to 34-10 when Napheesa Collier scored with 4:02 left in the third quarter to put the Lynx up 11.
