[LIST] [*]Looking at the box score, both teams shot 42% from the floor and were virtually identical from three, as well In fact, Minnesota hit much better from the line, going 8-9, as opposed to Phoenix just hitting 12-17. Therein lies one of the things that helped Phoenix close it out: they got to the line 8 more times. [*]And the other reason, for me, was obvious in the fourth quarter: The only Lynx that felt comfortable taking shots were Williams and, of course, K-Mac. Phoenix knew that and made life very difficult for both of them at the end. [*]Having Phee obviously would've helped and Reeve probably would've drawn up some approaches, but hey, the Lynx had the lead until the (almost) end. [/LIST] and [LIST] [*]Bonner didn't shoot very well at all recently, but she hit some crushers here and that's all that matters. [*]K-Mac is unbelievable with that release. Thought Lynx would've helped themselves having her run off off-ball screens rather than create off high-ball action where everyone was waiting for her. But that's moot at this point. [/LIST] Geesh, imagine if this ends up being a battle between two desert teams. [/QUOTE]
