This is going to be a war.

I wonder if any other team has ever been so dominant in 1st quarters to start the first 2 Finals games as the Liberty.

MDB gotta be loving this, but it's probably bringing flashbacks too.

The crowds have been amazing. Seems like not too long ago haters would say WNBA teams only have 3 fans or whatever. In your face.

I'm not feeling this one for the lynx. Bad turnovers and the liberty are hot.

They really aren’t calling any fouls. That really favors the much bigger team. Liberty should coast through this game.
