I didn't like how Sabrina didn't learn to change her attack on A'ja in the paint. She got her shot blocked a few too many times. Better odds trying to just draw a foul on the attempt than trying to make it

It looks like it's about to be over for the Sun. But I just want to throw them some love. They play their damn asses off.

I love Courtney but she should have a very short leash with how hot Heideman was in the first half.

How impressive is it that Napheesa is a 6'1 forward? Not trying to discount her talent, but in my mind I don't think it's more impressive that she's 6'1 compared to 6'3+ forward in the W. The difference in height isn't big for me in the league because there isn't extreme athleticism or power - napheesa is a smart smart player.

Bad quarter by the Lynx. Disjointed offense and let too many shots go up inside the paint on defense. Gotta start hitting 3's as well.
