Minny/Atlanta

[msf22b]

Maya showed me a seemingly new explosive (real fast) move to the hoop the other day.
Just did it again.
Doesn't seem real fast until you realize she is.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya is taking the ball to the hoop a lot now. Her handle has really improved.

 

[UCONNfan1]

Haven't watched the game yet but Maya is +10 and has only played 10 minutes in the first half. She scored 8 points. Did she hurt her self at all? Why is Minny not playing her?

 

[msf22b]

Dream started playing tough when they benched Angel.
A good sit got her re-focused; looked for her team-mates upon return, hit some reasonable shots.
Close game.

Either she got a little hurt
or
she did take a few overly contested shots just before she came out.
Also got lost on a defensive play.
Hard to tell.

Seimone is not doing much = Angel (until the last few minutes when AM came to life)

 

[VAMike23]

Angel starting to get a little cranky. Minny looks like they're in position to stretch the lead.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Minnesota and Maya in 3.

[VAMike23]

Nice shot of Kathryn Moore in the crowd!

 

[VAMike23]

Tiff-a-3333333 again

 

[msf22b]

Tiff has a quick 9
two of her familiar 3's
and a drive +1 to the right.

 

[msf22b]

Angel benched again for a significant portion of the third.
Seemingly sobbing on the bench.

 

[VAMike23]

Tiff in pain after another hard screen....

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya leads Minny with 19.

Tiff leads Atlanta with 18.

Nice duo!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya and Minny are getting to the FT line.

The IQ has 21 on her way to the MOP trophy?

 

[Goodies07]

If Minnesota closes this out, Maya is a lock for Finals MVP.

 

[msf22b]

Tiff is tough and a real pro.
A threat, gets herself open and hits
Good for her.

 

[VAMike23]

GREAT ball movement by Maya and the Lynx!

 

[MilfordHusky]

GREAT ball movement by Maya and the Lynx!

Considering that Sue Bird does not play for them, Minny does move the ball very well. Maya learned that game in college. It's called shot selection.

 

[VAMike23]

That exchange shows exactly why the Lynx are winning the series.

Wright twice to the rim for 2 layups, Angel hoists up a 3 and clanks it.

 

[VAMike23]

Huge block by Brunson....then a money J by Seimone!

 

[VAMike23]

Fat Lady warming up in Atlanta.....she's wearing Lynx blue.....

 

[VAMike23]

Game Over.....

The Best Team won! Great effort by Tiff, though. Gutty -- once again she gave it all she had, and more.

Lame TO by Atl with 3 sec left.
