The talk about the Minnesota Lynx heading into this one was primarily two things: 1) Their resurgence back into the playoff hunt and, 2) A typically cruel travel schedule. After a horrendous start to the season, they have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games to help them get just 1.0 games back of the 7th/8th seeds and just 1.5 games back of the 6th seed. However, they were also entering their third game in four days which began with a home-road back-to-back. This is also a great time to remind those who are unaware that WNBA player are quite literally forced to fly commercial airlines which often result in travel snafus like, say, cancelled flights.
