Basketball is a game of runs. That’s a cliche for a reason, and that’s because its true! Not many games are tightly contested from beginning to end. Players can get hot, certain lineups or matchups click into place, or simple circumstances can spark one team to dominate for a stretch of time. Friday’s tilt took those runs to the extreme and saw the Wings outscore the Lynx 33-5 during a large portion of the first half, and Minnesota returning the favor with a 34-10 run of their own after halftime.
The opening few minutes of this one were fantastic for Minnesota.
