Lynetta Kizer doing what she did for CT, a force on the floor.

There have been none of these. Today is the first. Preseason really doesn't tell you that much. I'm pretty sure Jordin Canada isn't Seattle's best player, but if you only paid attention to preseason you might think she is.
 
I knew Minnesota was struggling w/ turnovers, but they have 20 through 3 quarters. Wow.

End of discussion, you do have a BM.

LA playing with defensive intensity. Arms waving all the time. Very Genoish. But the Lynx are also helping with really sloppy play and Maya is not playing like Maya. :(
 
Minnesota back w/in 4 (was 10 at one point).
 
LA clinging to 65-63 lead, called a TO, about 5 minutes left.
 
Feel bad for the BY's who felt this game was soo boring they turned it off. :confused::confused:.

Sloppy game to be sure but very intense and fun to watch imho.

Whalen and Fowles have stepped up down the stretch. Fowles just picked up her 5th foul (WNBA has 6 fouls, didn't realize that).
 
Sparks retake the lead 71-68, just under 3 minutes left.
 
73-70 LA, timeout to Minnesota, 1:05 left. 23 turnovers for the Lynx.
 
75-74 LA 33.5 seconds left, LA ball after a timeout.
 
.-.
Come on Maya. This is your time. We need a game winner.
 
3 rattles out just before shot clock expires, Lynx grabs the rebound, calls a TO. 8.2 seconds left w/ a chance to win on the last possession.

Chelsea Gray starting where she left off last season. Real tough player. I can see her making the National Team before her career is over.

I was being conservative. Make way for the Hall of Fame for Chelsea Gray. ;)

You're right!! She just broke Minny's heart with a game winning buzzer beater. Sparks win by 1. :p
 
The last game winner she had against Minn. there were only two players in her grill. This shot she made with 3 min players contesting her shot.

Gray and Sims are a heckuva backcourt.
Gray had 18 points including the game winner, plus 6 steals and 8 assists
Sims added 21 points and got to the line A LOT.

Lynx had 24 turnovers to only 6 for Sparks. It's a miracle they were even in this game.

Sparks won this game without Parker and Lavender. They are officially the team to beat this year.

Sparks are the team to beat this year. Lynx’s lack of bench is going to hurt more and more as season progresses. Sparks won this without Parker and Lavender. Wish Parker had played.
 
Between Gray/Sims combo and Parker/Ogumike combo the Sparks will be a heck of a team. Sims missed a lot, but she still scored a lot when it counted. Gray is just a baller!!!
 
can't wait for the sparks-sun game on Thursday on espn, should be a good one!
