[Samanthabrown3]

9-5 Minnie.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Lynx came to play!

 

[Kaizen]

Rene's half court 3 was OH MY GOD ...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not quite 28-2, but almost the exact opposite of the start of game 1. Looks like Coach Reeve got her team focused and ready to compete tonight.

 

[eebmg]

Can't let up. First game should make that clear.

 

[Kaizen]

Can not believe ref called a foul on Maya...

 

[Shades]

 

[MilfordHusky]

45-26. Good half!!

 

[UConnCat]

Two lay-ups missed by Plenette Pierson and also 2 missed FTs. Ugh.

Momentum killers!

Alana Beard commits a lot of fouls that are not called.
The whole LA team gets away with a lot of hand-checking

It's incredible. Beard got away with the same fouling on Taurasi too. She's a great defensive player but that reputation has now caused the refs to look the other way too much.

 

[YellwJcket999]

This has been a strange game. A lot of chippy fouls - pushing/shoving. The Lynx blowing a big lead. smh

 

[Reypl21]

Terrible foul called on Sims. It looked like Beard would have gotten a pretty clear path to the basket.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Are you kidding me?!

CP3 gets a bogus call.

 

[Reypl21]

Then a terrible one the other way on Brunson. This sucks

 

[Blueballer]

The officiating is so painfully bad in these games it drives you crazy.

 

[Kaizen]

Finally yes, 70-68
Good people beat bad people and refs ...

 

[MilfordHusky]

No game winning shot tonight.

Another nail-biter with huge runs.

 

[YellwJcket999]

The Lynx got lucky. TWICE! All of the mistakes they made - This could be 0-2

 

[Vowelguy]

No exactly great execution by either team in the last minute.

 

[MilfordHusky]

No exactly great execution by either team in the last minute.

Certainly not on offense.

But the defense was very good.

 

[UConnCat]

It looked like Seimone tripped over a Sparks player's foot which caused her to stumble and mishandle the pass.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Getting off to a big lead early in this series doesn't mean much.

Lynx scored 28 in the 1st quarter. They scored 42 combined the rest of the game.
