Best player on the floor tonight. 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks.

And makes 1 of 2.

Ain't that the truth. I got home and started watching just as Phoenix took a 21-12 lead. We then go on a 20-2 run. I am taking the credit for this win. Go Lynx. Sexist comment that I have to make. Brunson was the MAN.

Sooooo proud of this team

Only a VERY speacial team can battle through injuries to key starters, spend a season literally flipping half its roster (6 of 12 players were not in a Lynx uni opening day) by trades & late fill-ins and mid season, attempt to change their identity and fundamentally how they've played for 5 years, again, mid season and win easily. Takes more then just talent, takes time to adjust, a little luck sure, great leaders and more. Yes Maya is a freak but props to ALL the Los Lynx players for battling and ... for the 4th time in 5yrs
punching a ticket back to the WNBA FINALS BABY !!

It's so important when it comes to maintaining greatness."

Griner:
Conf. Semis: 20.5 PPG (63%), 9.5 FTAs, 10 RPG, 8 BPG
Conf. Finals: 12.0 PPG (50%), 3.5 FTAs, 6 RPG, 1 BPG

Smooth answer, basically just talked about the great play Maya made and never apologized one iota.
I like it. No one ever makes our world right, screw it. Game over. On to the Finals. Again.

I heard on the radio yesterday that she did miss deliberately. I also heard that the league came out with the opinion that Maya should not have been fouled on the play. I obviously didn't see it.

Status: online 		It definitely should not have been a foul. With that said, the Lynx don't control what the ref calls and Maya took advantage and buried the dagger deep. I think this team has impressed me more than the previous ones. They are doing with grit, savvy and just plain knowing how to win. They are badly beaten up right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Augustus, Whalen and Brunson don't report to their Euro teams for at least a couple of months after the playoffs are over.
