Ever since their dominant first half against the Seattle Storm last Thursday night, things have gone sideways for the Minnesota Lynx against the defending champs.
Head coach Cheryl Reeve called the loss one of the most disappointing nights of her tenure with the Lynx, crediting the Storm’s culture of up-tempo, unselfish basketball for picking apart the Lynx defense.
The Storm got out to a 17-4 run in the first 4:43 of the game, behind crisp ball movement, excellent cutting and penetration into the paint that allowed Seattle guards to make plays for their wings and bigs to score easy buckets.
