MINNEAPOLIS — If Napheesa Collier’s demeanor were placed on a graph, there would be no major variations. No big spikes, no wide waves. Sure, she’ll occasionally dial up to “Spicy Phee” as warranted, and Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve would like to see a little more seasoning at times. But Collier never dips down.
“Generally speaking, she’s about as close to that line as you can get,” Reeve said.
That consistency has continued through Collier’s first WNBA Finals, a series the MVP runner-up believes will reign as one of the most memorable and historic in league history.
