Aerial Powers finished the Minnesota Lynx’ Sunday night contest with 17 points and 4 assists.
But man, would it have been nice if she had 19.
While attempting to claw back into the game in the fourth quarter, Powers jumped a passing lane, stole the ball, and saw nothing but open court in front of her. She left the layup short, immediately putting her hands on her head after the frustrating miss. It all but put the final damper on Minnesota’s chance of walking out of Target Center with a win.
In a game which the odds were stacked against Minnesota, they played with energy and effort to make up for their limitations.
