The Lynx (25-9) win at Indiana (18-17), 99-88.

The 29-12 third quarter was the killer. 14 turnovers didn't help, either.

Giving up 99 points is inexcusable.


Minnesota has a great chance of being in the WNBA Finals, so this is a game the Fever can learn from.

The Lynx's Alanna Smith led all scorers with 26 points. CC had 25; Kelsey had 23; Aliyah had 20.

CC's stats:

Played 36 of the 40 minutes

5-10 (50%) from three
3-11 (27%) from 2 pt range
...........................................
8-21 (38%) Overall Shooting

4-4 (100%) FTs

CC has made 107 3’s, leads the WNBA, needs 22 to break the season record. 4.4 avg over the last 5 games.

CC has 294 assists, leads the WNBA, needs 23 to break the season record. 4.6 avg over the last 5 games.

CC has 666 points, needs 79 to break the rookie season record. 15.8 avg over the last 5 games.
 
I guess the crazy thing is that Cc has raised the bar SO high that people act like she's not going to make a mistake from time to time, or force one of those passes that she so often connects on. So many of her crazy assists wouldn't even be attempted by a lot of players. The Lynx played a hell of a game especially on the defensive end, and all the Fever players, (including CC) let the zebras get to them in that third quarter. Lets see what this young teams learns from watching the tape of this game especially the 2nd half.

got it down to 1 a couple times

had a chance to take the lead on a fast break but they turned it over; MN then went the other way, missed, got the offensive rebound and nailed a 3 pointer. That was a killer 5 point swing right there.
Minny played a really tough game. Well prepared. When I say tough I mean that when Indy got it close at the end, they kept going hard.
 
Fever are averaging 91.4 ppg since the break, the most in the WNBA. Minnesota is allowing 76.1 ppg, 2nd best in the WNBA.

It’s a red hot offense vs. a very stingy defense. Something has to give. Should be entertaining.

Better coaching Better defense. Better bench. Better MATURITY.
Pretty accurate. Starters weren’t doing as much in that first half, but bench was. Then starters came alive in second half. They’re a team I enjoy watching when we’re not playing them. Oh well, we won at Minny and for that first half, showed could hang with them. Good chance we see them again…

5-10 from three is good. However, CC's typically-efficient inside-the-arc game kinda let her down tonight. You know she is very unhappy with 3-11. The Lynx' tough defense was not allowing her to get layups tonight.
