Usually this is about the time of the year when the Lynx are rounding into playoff form. Usually they are fine-tuning a flowing offense and a terrifying, energetic defense. This is not a usual season.
Minnesota lost again Sunday night and for the third straight game their offense let them down. Other than Sylvia Fowles and (sometimes) Maya Moore, they just don’t have enough players who can score the ball efficiently. Moore had a nice second half and her counting stats look fine (15/6/4) but she only shot 4-13 from the field. Seimone Augustus had some streaky moments and also added 15 points, but plays directly into the opponent’s plans by constantly settling for long-twos.
