Lynx put on a clinic with an impressive display of teamwork, offense and defense. Rebekkah Brunson collected another double double, and all but the injured Jess Adair (who was only in the game during final minutes) scored. They looked refreshed and played with resolve and the coaches came in with a solid game plan. Very entertaining night in the process of going one up on LA. Would be nice to see a few more fans come out to support the "road to repeat" next home game.

Man, that was a beautiful basketball game. I hope to see the game out here in LA on Sunday, maybe Los Lynx can finish them off! I hope people who haven't seen a WNBA game happen to catch one of these games, because they are amazing.

I'm old enough to remember the old half court game women played and these women are really something. That was a fun game. Go Lynx.

That was an awesome game Lynx! Playing Seattle was the "Legends" Play off game. The Western Finals is "Best of the West". Bring your game on Lynx. I remember Sacramento Monarchs fans would chant BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA! I don't hear it out here. It's Sacramento/LA rival. GO LYNX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The difference last night was coaching. Reeve & Co. had a PLAN, and Carol Ross obviously did not. The Lynx took Toliver out by getting in her head (wise choice), and it worked beautifully. Parker was the only player to show up for LA. Maya gets the ESPN headlines, but the Lynx bench scoring over 20 points, and Whalen putting Toliver on roller skates and ultimate foul trouble was key.

What is the name of the LA Team. On their Jerseys it says, "FARMERS". The article says, "SPARKS".
