Minnesota Lynx vs Los Angeles Sparks - 8/09/20

[nwhoopfan]

LA has rebuilt a double digit lead.

Parker 1 assist away from a triple double.


I don't know why Wiese has been sitting so long.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gray has only 5 FGA attempts, had 19 the previous game. I wonder if she got a talking to, or just watched some game tape. LA looks a lot better when she's not ball hogging.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I think Minnesota expended a lot of energy in Q3. Lead has ballooned to 17 w/ a bit over 5 minutes left.

Pheesa is not her rookie self. Just does not seem aggressive. When Crystal is your leading scorer, that is a problem.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Refs are out of control calling offensive fouls on screens. I'm seeing so many in games I'm watching. There isn't much there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

LA managed to a blow a 3 on 1 fast break. 19 TOs. They just don't value the ball. It's really evenly distributed, it's a team wide problem.

 

[eebmg]

Ok, win/shmin, watching Crystal is worth it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

45-5 bench scoring?!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Did anyone other than Dangerfield score for Minnesota in the 4th quarter? Didn't seem like it. She finished w/ 29 but LA won 97-81.

Crystal must be having out of body experiences with the OR and SC games last year.

It seemed as if she shot the ball at least 90% of the time she touched it in the last game.

For level of difficulty, Crystal should be awarded 3 pts for every drive she makes.

She did convert a couple of 3-point plays today. The defense can't stay with her.
