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.
 
Crystal finally made a jumper. Down 57-56.
 
Tied at 60 thru Q3. Taurasi went really quiet after halftime.

Dangerfield and Sims both waking up for Minnesota.
 
60-60 entering Q4. Time for our ROYS to get it done.
 
Phoenix only scored 14 in Q3. Their offense really ground to a halt. Skylar has been awful today.
 
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.
 
.-.
Crystal with a clean 3 and Pheesa dominating on defense and a stellar pass to get Dantes a 3. Up 70-64
 
Imagine how much Minnesota would be up right now if they hadn't tried the Big Syl experiment?
 
Dangerfield taking over in Q4.

Taurasi is about to have her 2nd 4 point play of the quarter.
 
.-.
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?
 
Looks to me like ball bounced off of Collier’s shin and went out of bounds. Might be too inconclusive to overturn.

Minnesota up 1, 14.5 seconds left. Phoenix ball.
 
Skylar threw a bad pass. She was absolutely TERRIBLE in this game. DT never touched it that possession.

edit--3-14 shooting, box score only shows 2 TOs but she had to have more than that
 
SDS has been less than impressive tonight. DT and BT are carrying the entire team tonight, and it doesn't look to be enough.

I was just thinking they never call a foul on her extended arm.

Why wouldn't DT take that herself? You really didn't want SDS taking the last shot. 80-79 final. Dontas missed pair of FTs to leave the door open.
 
22 for Dantas, 17 for Dangerfield, 14 for Sims, 11 for Banham. Collier never really got going on offense, but played some good D.

DT finished w/ 28, 13 for Turner, 10 for Vaughn.
 
DT heads straight to the locker room, pretty peeved. She honestly could've been tossed with how much she was complaining to the refs. Surprised Phoenix never tried to get a look for her down the stretch. She was great today as a scorer and passer. Diggins picked a bad game to be a no show. Turner/Vaughn were solid but they really needed more from SDS.

Dangerfield was the star for Minnesota in the 2nd half. Absolutely stellar after the break. Once they got Fowles out of the lineup, Minnesota outplayed Phoenix. Collier quiet scoring night but was steady in all other areas. Another excellent playoff game.
