Connecticut SunvsMinnesota Lynx
CON 90/MIN 89
Things to say
The Connecticut Sun stunned the Minnesota Lynx 90-89 on the road at Target Center.
01
opener
Man, the Sun walked into Minnesota and stole one. Ninety to eighty-nine, came down to the final possession. Nobody saw that coming from a 5-and-16 team.
02
key player
Brittney Griner was a problem all night. 29 and 10, just ate them up in the paint. When she gets buckets down low there's no answer.
03
hot take
The Lynx are 15-and-6 and they still can't close out a game like this? That's a mental thing, not a talent thing.
04
deep cut
Kayla McBride dropped 28 and STILL took the L. Nobody else in Minnesota showed up when it mattered.
05
exit
Anyway, Lynx better tighten it up before their next one or that top seed talk gets real quiet.
The recap
Talk about a stunner: the 5-16 Sun walked into Target Center and stole one 90-89 over a Lynx squad that had no business dropping this. Brittney Griner was an absolute problem all night, going for 29 and 10 and just eating them up in the paint.
Kayla McBride did everything she could with 28 to keep Minnesota afloat, but they couldn't get the last bucket when it mattered. One-point heartbreaker, and it's the plucky underdog walking out with the W.
