On other issues, Lexie Hull is invaluable, not only because she has figured it out but because Katie Lou Samuelson is unplayable. I know that she was a new signee who was a fairly high draft pick in the day so Indiana feels its needs to play her but honesty she is awful. A defensive sieve with limited offensive ability, and she has lost her shooting touch as well.
Also, the Fever DESPERATELY need to replace Smith with a defender/rim protector. But we knew that already.
The Fever guards lost their composure. Clark forced too many 2-point runners, a shot that she is not yet very good at. And Mitchell flat-out went into blind chucker mode.
But I should return to the start of my post, full credit to the Lynx. That is an elite team.
pretty much my take away. The Fever actually played a good game but the Lynx were just the more consistent team. On the bright side by losing this game it increases Indys chances of playing the Sun in the first round.
Whatever softens up CT or MIN up early in the playoffs works for me.
