UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Cheryl Reeve doesn’t see the similarities between her Minnesota Lynx and the Connecticut Sun.
“We are very, very different,” she said. “We’re similar in terms of the outcomes of the games, the scores, how close they are. And we are closely matched, but we could not be more different.”
The Lynx like to spread the floor and find shooters, while the Sun, Reeve said, rely more on physicality.
But whether she sees it or not, there are a few things that link the two squads.
They’ve both been written off — Connecticut for years as the forgotten contender in Uncasville, and Minnesota picked this year as the ninth-ranked team in the preseason.
