Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx - 9/17/20

[eebmg]

So, was that last 'shot' by Diana an intentional pass? Lynx look so indecisive except for Dantes and Banham and Crystal cant hit a thing. Needs to get to the hole.

So, was that last 'shot' by Diana an intentional pass?

I don't think so. She hit one from nearly that deep a few minutes earlier.

I don't think so. She hit one from nearly that deep a few minutes earlier.

Will Diana get an official assist?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Will Diana get an official assist?

She had 5 at the half, but I'm not sure if they gave her one on that play.

 

[eebmg]

Lynx cut the deficit to 3 52-49 with Crystal finally getting a driving bucket but Diana with a nice assist 54-49. At least, it is a game again.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dantas is continuing her stellar play, but they aren't getting much from the other 4 starters and she picked up her 4th foul. Still a lot of game left.

Phoenix had gone up 11, Minnesota got it back down to 3 w/ at least one possession where they could've tied it up.

 

[eebmg]

Crystal finally made a jumper. Down 57-56.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tied at 60 thru Q3. Taurasi went really quiet after halftime.

Dangerfield and Sims both waking up for Minnesota.

 

[eebmg]

60-60 entering Q4. Time for our ROYS to get it done.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Phoenix only scored 14 in Q3. Their offense really ground to a halt. Skylar has been awful today.

 

[Bigboote]

It's tied going into the fourth.

Skylar has 4 points; Napheesa 5, Syl 6, Crystal 8.

It's all about who catches fire in the fourth.

 

[eebmg]

Crystal with a clean 3 and Pheesa dominating on defense and a stellar pass to get Dantes a 3. Up 70-64

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crystal is heating up. Minnesota up 6 at 7:12 to go.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Imagine how much Minnesota would be up right now if they hadn't tried the Big Syl experiment?

 

[nwhoopfan]

For the Merc to have any chance, DT is gonna have to take over, because SDS just doesn't have it tonight.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dangerfield taking over in Q4.

Taurasi is about to have her 2nd 4 point play of the quarter.

 

[MilfordHusky]

GOAT keeps making 4-point plays.

Crystal is up to 17.

 

[Kaizen]

Diggins never passes the ball

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sims has had a strong 2nd half as well.


Diggins-Smith can't get a whistle on the drive to save her life. What did she do to piss the refs off?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Diana is +12. Sylvia is -16.

 

[Shades]

Dangerfield taking over in Q4.

Taurasi is about to have her 2nd 4 point play of the quarter.

Both pretty cheap.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Turner has 13 points/13 boards. Another solid game for her.

 

[JDuro]

Looks to me like ball bounced off of Collier’s shin and went out of bounds. Might be too inconclusive to overturn.

 

[eebmg]

Why so quick?

 

[ShmiCO]

I miss the crowd more than ever in these playoff games. :/
