Oh well, so we go thru the year with one loss. That's ok.

9 point lead with 30 seconds left.

Status: offline 		The Sparks were down by as few three points at several points during the fourth quarter. Once, it was a 73-70 game after a Kristi Toliver three with 5:38 left. Then it was 75-72 after Nneka Ogwumike made two free throws with 4:33 left. But from then on, Lynx guard Lindsay Whalen scored six straight points, and Minny never looked back from there.

What was a bit surprising at best, or concerning at worst, is that the Sparks failed to score another point for the rest of the game. They didn't even have a free throw attempt.

Guess not.

She's playing far too many minutes and getting worn down. She played all 40 again last night (3rd time she's been over 40 in 9 games).

We need Wright back ASAP.

But she's 1/13 from 3 over the past 3 games (0/4 each of the last 2), and you can see her shot isn't as smooth as normal.

Status: offline 		Yes Maya shouldn't have to be playing 40 mins but such is the life w/a very competitve coach (and team)
We do need Monnie back ASAP. Sounds like she is VERY close to getting some controled mins, she's about 7 wks out on the 6-8 wk recovery but still can't rush her back either. Nice to be 8-1 at this stage.
It's good that Dev Peters is back in the mix a bit while she shakes off the rust. It helps with the post mins as Dantas & Jmac have done big time work.

But for now its off to meet the POTUS in DC. Then of to ATL for game on Friday which is on one of the Fox(s) most likely the FSN(+) 6:30pm ct tip.

Video media from Tue practice:

A question came up to 'Mone re that being the 4th different practice facility the defending champs have had to practice in … just another one of the likely many distractions/obstacles the defending champs have to deal with that will largely goes un-noticed. Crazy, another example of the price these women pay to be pioneers of sports in this country.

Somehow we're now down by 4 with almost 4 minutes to go.

Go Lynx.

At least its been nice to see Liston get some run. 5 points, 4 rebounds in 8 minutes so far.

Loss.

I was busy today and missed it. You get thinking the Lynx are superhuman but they have games like this to show they still are human.
