Sparks @ Lynx - 10/04/17

[Shades]

5 fouls on Ogwumike early in the 4th. That's not good for the Sparks. The post is soft without her.

The refs have to call so many fouls. The posts beat each other up, but then they blink at one another and a foul is called.

Lynx getting all of the calls. I'm stunned the game is this close.

 

[YellwJcket999]

This is great WNBA action. A great advertisement for the league. Now let's get these ladies some more money.

 

[Shades]

Bye bye, Ogwumike!

 

[BigBird]

One would think it's in the bag now. If so, one would be thinking incorrectly. With 33 combined turnovers, this thing still hangs in the balance. Exciting, that's for sure.

[BigBird]

Dumb fouls...ugh!

 

[Vowelguy]

I agree with Lobo - LA panicked and started looking for 3s too early.

 

[Vowelguy]

Bad play by Whalen

Down by ten with about a minute fifteen to go you need to go for for 3s IMO..

 

[sarals24]

Lynx trying to give this game away. I do not understand how FOUR OLYMPIANS can be so dumb at the end of quarters/games.

 

[BigBird]

Exasperating.

They started at the 2:00 mark.

 

[Kaizen]

Now this is exciting..but we will win

 

[Vowelguy]

Wow, Maya that was not good shot selection. And way too early.

 

[sarals24]

Wow, Maya that was not good shot selection. And way too early.

I thought the same thing, but honestly? I would rather her be shooting than anyone on that team trying to handle the ball at the moment. At least it wasn't another turnover.

 

[Vowelguy]

PHEW.

 

[NoelAustin]

Maya has not gone consecutive seasons without a championship since the dawn of time. The Lynx had to win.

 

[Kaizen]

Yes 85-76
We beat LA ....

 

[msf22b]

I was for Minny but LA never had a chance with the officiating I saw.

 

[BigBird]

Just wow.

 

[UConnCat]

Refs had nothing to do with this win for Minny. The tougher team won!

Lynx are champs again.

Lynx are champs again.

Minnesota is the UConn of the WNBA

Ummm....the officiating sucked both ways. Lucky it wasn’t a tie

 

[j66kicker]

LYNX!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Huskie]

Really? I saw it completely the opposite. The refs tried like hell to keep LA in the game. That foul on Maya on that 3 was a disgrace. She never touched the girl.

 

[j66kicker]

Lucky for the Sparks, with Nneka fouled out, Beard with 5 and Sims with 4

You are correct, sir
