After getting dismantled by the Seattle Storm in (at that point) the most important game of the season, Coach Cheryl Reeve shared that the Minnesota Lynx would show more fight in a do-or-die game to stay alive for a shot at the postseason.
Unfortunately, that fight only came in the fourth quarter.
The Connecticut Sun demonstrated that they had the talent and depth advantage all game long. They easily built an early 10-point lead which was foreshadowing of what was to come. The interior presence of the current MVP Jonquel Jones, current MIP Brionna Jones, and relentless Alyssa Thomas buoyed a 50-34 advantage in the paint.
