Lynx 91, Sparks 82: Stud Budz Crash the Party
The Minnesota Lynx came into this on the end of a back-to-back, flying in after a loss in Phoenix less than 24 hours ago. It was just their third defeat of the season. Early tips always feel like a good excuse for poor play, but the Lynx came in determined to right the ship against their old rival Los Angeles Sparks.
The shouting of hundreds of kids couldn’t stop them today.
Alanna Smith, who just went 0 for 3 from perimeter less than 24 hours ago, canned the very first triple of the game. Napheesa Collier also sunk an early jumper after struggling to get going against the Mercury. It looked like it was going to be smooth sailing tonight.
