[Hawksfor3]

Lynx move well without the ball. Defense causes a stop and the players relocate and get a good shot.

 

[JimStarr777]

Lynx are good

 

[Hawksfor3]

Williams has 8 pts, but plays good D and makes timely midrange shots.

 

[Franisdaman]

damn it....Minny is showing why they are a serious contender to win the WNBA Championship

 

[JimStarr777]

Refs are awful

 

[BioHawk]

I just don't think it's happening tonight, unfortunately.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Welp, this one's over. McBride with a three and one.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Dontas sure doesn't like to give the ball up.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Get the bench in.

 

[2D_]

If the Fever could actually make a shot, this game would be much, much closer.

 

[DTP2]

Their 22 should have 22 fouls.

 

[Franisdaman]

umm, Minny your legs were supposed to be tired.....lol

 

[2D_]

Dontas is a black hole of nothingness. Bad shot after bad shot.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Everything is going in for the Lynx now.

 

[Hawksfor3]

umm, Minny your legs were supposed to be tired.....lol

Yeah. Second night of a back-to-back.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Jeez.... the lead went from 3 to 15 in three f'ing minutes.

 

[denmar81]

Clark needs 2 assists. Get Dontas out and she has a chance.

 

[Franisdaman]

If the Fever could actually make a shot, this game would be much, much closer.

20 missed three point shots tonight (6-26, for 23% shooting)

 

[JimStarr777]

Jeez.... the lead went from 3 to 15 in three f'ing minutes.

Dantas really hurt us during that stretch. Bad shots killed our momentum and they hit everything.

 

[GHawk]

Dontas is a black hole of nothingness. Bad shot after bad shot.

Problem is the Fever bigs aren't that good compared with the rest of the league.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Losing at full-strength, surging Minnesota is not a surprise. This was the toughest game left on the schedule.

 

[2D_]

Dontas trying to be the next CC or Mitchell

 

[GHawk]

CC has to take more than 4 shots in the whole second half so far.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Dantas with another missed open three.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

CC has to take more than 4 shots in the whole second half so far.

Dantas is taking more shots than Clark and Mitchell.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

The Lynx are happily leaving Dantas wide open and the Fever keep passing it to her.

 

[DTP2]

5 shots in second half when no one else is hitting. Ridiculous.

 

[spiderland]

Dantas 0-5 from three.
Hull 2-3.
Good strategy, Fever.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Well, the Fever didn't play very well but still didn't get blown out. Napheesa has a season-high 31 points.

 

[Franisdaman]

Minnesota (22-8) beats the Fever (13-16), 90-80.

CC's stats:

38 min (of 40 possible)

3-8 (38%) from three
5-10 (50%) from two
......................
8-18 (44%) overall shooting

4-4 (100%) FTs

23 Points
8 Assists
5 Rebounds (1 Offensive)
1 Steal

 

[hawkeye_wx]

It hasn't been a big problem for a while, but Clark had 7 turnovers tonight. Her passing wasn't as sharp.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Napheesa has to be in the MVP conversation. It's not a sure thing for A'ja.

 

[Hawkestrate]

Dontas trying to be the next CC or Mitchel

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Dantas 0-5 from three.
Hull 2-3.
Good strategy, Fever.

If you are going to chuck a bunch of threes, at least let Clark, Mitchell, and Hull do it.

 

[Hawkestrate]

Dantas 0-5 from three.
Hull 2-3.
Good strategy, Fever.

Leave dontas out there all 2nd half, great coaching

 

[Allaroundfan]

Lynx better team tonight—a lot of pure shooting (Bern impressed with Courtney Williams lately). Whereas it looked so hard for Fever tonight, nothing smooth, clogged in the paint, slow start from CC and then , what, 5 shots in the second half?

 

[Franisdaman]

Two nice 4th Qtr assists to Lexi:

Collier and Williams have both been killing it lately. Let's hope they cool off a bit when they come to Indiana in a couple weeks.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Kelsey Mitchell ended up only 2-10 from three, so she cooled off after a hot post-break restart.

 

[BioHawk]

If the Fever could actually make a shot, this game would be much, much closer.

The first quarter they were rusty but I think the rest of their shooting was largely because of the defense Minnesota was playing. They need to come up with an answer for whatever Minnesota was doing to them.
