Seattle Storm vs Minnesota Lynx - 9/06/20

Interesting stats. Most teams are fairly close. The statistical outlier is the Aces, who hardly take any 3's.

I haven't watched every Seattle game. It seems to me what really fuels them is getting TOs and fast break points, much more than shooting 3's.

Seattle and its UConn players were better than Minnesota and its Huskies tonight.

Crystal had 13 on 6-11 shooting and kept up in the ROY performance. She's 10th in the LEAGUE in scoring, just ahead of Phee.

They had very active hands on defense tonight. Lots of steals!

Well, it was 19 years experience against one. As said above, the Lynx Huskies should expect to be schooled.

Well, the party is over. Got to crack the whip.

“We just didn’t do our schemes, what the game plan was,’’ Napheesa Collier said. “We pretty much ignored it as a team. So I know Coach is pretty frustrated with that.’’

Reeve seemed so, in postgame comments that lasted just 76 seconds. But she made her point. Days off between games will end.

“We’ll start practicing on our off days,’’ she said. “Because without defense, we’re going nowhere. Like, nowhere. One hundred and three points! I mean it’s a really good basketball team over there, but this was embarrassing today.’’

The Lynx need to beat Las Vegas, and win the rest of their games. Phoenix plays Connecticut twice and finishes with Seattle. If they win out and Minnesota loses to Las Vegas, Phoenix gets the bye.
