And I have to add, she scored a number of her field goals on these (legal?) up-and-under shots. Moe Money, Moe /yGQaGbD1Yh- Minnesota Lynx August 15, 2020Ĭaptain Collier would play every single minute of the first quarter and lead all players with 10 points, to go along with 4 rebounds and 2 assists to boot. Sims scored a wild and-1 reverse lay-up, screaming in what seemed to be like an attempt to fire herself up. This was notable because Odyssey Sims still looked two steps slow out there and it’s very apparent she’s not in game shape yet. It was a back-and-forth first quarter until our opening day starting point guard Shenise Johnson checked into the game for the first time since she pulled her hamstring a few weeks back. She was noticeably active getting up four shots in the first four minutes, with mixed results. But what the Lynx collective could celebrate was the fact that Coach Reeve, who just welcomed her son Oliver into the Orlando bubble, was finally able to successfully implement Collier into the offense early and often. Lynx Nation collectively sighed in disappointment, anticipating what looked to be yet another Fowles-less game where the opposition would get whatever they wanted inside. Joining Collier in the party was Damiris Dantas, who chipped in five quick perimeter points as well, but New York was still able to keep the game close early with three wide open shots in the paint. If this first sequence wasn’t foreshadowing of what was to come, then I’m not the world’s biggest Ricky Rubio fan.
Saturday’s game opened with the now lone, but active, team captain Napheesa Collier corralling the Liberty’s first missed shot attempt, storming down the court with the ball, and finishing a tough little contested jumper in the paint. Would this game bear a similar result, or would New York put it all together after a close loss versus the Indiana Fever two days ago? You might remember that as “The Bridget Carleton” game where she went off for a 25-7-3 line, or the “Lexie Brown Is A Thief” game where she tied a franchise record with 7 steals. Losing co-captain and former MVP Sylvia Fowles indefinitely to an injury? Oof.īut losing all 3 of our captains during the same season? That’s where we draw the line.Įxactly ten days ago, the Minnesota Lynx steamrolled the New York Liberty in a 26-point blowout which featured a 27-6 3rd quarter that put the game away for good.
Losing co-captain Karima Christmas-Kelly to a season-ending injury? Ouch. 500 Canis points to Leo for coming in clutch (and great recap, man!) This is first official game recap, and with any luck, you’ll be seeing more of his work around here this fall. for stepping in last minute to recap the Lynx/Liberty game yesterday. Editor’s Note: I want to give a major shoutout (and thank you) to one of our own - Leo S.
