The Minnesota Lynx’s sole home preseason game sure felt like it was shaping up to be one of those games after the opening minutes of the first quarter against the Las Vegas Aces.
The starting group’s offense generated two points on one made field goal through the game’s first 4:32 for two main reasons. One, the Lynx’s perimeter players couldn’t get the ball into Sylvia Fowles effectively as a result of not looking to her consistently enough, and two, the team wasn’t sharing the basketball. As a result, they turned it over four times during that stretch.
