Hard thing accomplished, win on the road in the playoffs and ending the losing streak.  In matching the Liberty win in Phoenix beating a NY squad at home ( with an injured Stewie) Nate did something hard.  Although maybe not that hard?

I would guess many would have anticipated the series would be tied at this point although not in the manner in which it became tied.

Unlike the opener in the series the Merc shot the ball well.

Phoenix has to feel good coming home to face a New York squad with an injured Stewie who is struggling but playing.

Other comments.

Winning a first round playoff series in which you're the higher seed might be an expectation rather than a way to go moment for Nate.  In my mind it's telling that when you do something you're supposed to do ie higher seed with a home court advantage winning we find celebratory fandom thinking yeah this guy is worth 1.2 million.  If true then wouldn't Cheryl be worth twice that with her sweep?  .

That said I'm delighted at the hometown team opportunity to advance tonight and, assuming Nate and the Merc take care of business,  what should be an interesting series against the top ranked Lynx.

Hummmm ...... Any pressure on the million dollar coach or is this just business as usual?
