Wow she’s killing it. On Amazon Prime.
BC with the dagger!! What a fantastic game!
Bridget with 23 in the win! 6-8 from 3. Killer!
I thought she should have won the MVP award for the game - leading scorer 23 points with 8 of 10 shooting.
All Bridge needs is to be given a chance:

Carleton Only Third Player In WNBA History To Score 25+ And 5+ Rebounds In First Start
Bridget Carleton led all scorers with 25-points in a 92-66 Minnesota Lynx win over the New York Liberty. It was Carleton’s first career start, and with that, she became only the third player in WNBA history to record 25-points or more, and more than 5 rebounds in their first start. Carleton had...

But what about TO's? In order to be world class, don't you need to have a lot of TO's? Asking the question for Murph...
I thought it was really great when the floor announcer asked Napheesa about the award and she turned to Bridget and said she should have won it. Bridget just gave her that great smile we always loved and just didn't take the award from her.
That performance at an away game against one of the best teams in the league is quite impressive
GF is a Fever fanatic, so I have been forced into watching them . I will pay more attention to the Lynx , now that Bridget and her team are on a roll.
Question: NBA plays 48 minute games and allows 6 fouls - this is equivalent to NCCABB allowing 5 fouls in 40 minutes. WNBA allows 6 fouls in 40 minutes. Why 6 fouls? Why 40 minutes? My guess is because of the 12 person roster limit? Expanding the team rosters is not feasible since WNBA is losing money. Another consideration is that the officiating is not as accurate in the WNBA, so a bad call doesn't hurt if you are allowed 6 fouls. IMHO, I think the amount of fouling slows the game, and contributes to the bullying image. It might be helpful to implement a 5 foul limit.

It’s Time to Take the Minnesota Lynx Seriously
The team's Commissioner’s Cup win has put the WNBA on notice, with Cheryl Reeve’s squad exceeding early-season expectations.

"They looked the part in their 94-89 win over the Liberty. The game was a display of their greatest strengths—a scrambling, intense defense, and an offense predicated on ball movement and three-point shooting. Minnesota finished 14-of-29 from beyond the arc, led by a career night from small forward Bridget Carleton, who shot six-of-eight from three".
Kinda spaced out the that the Lynx win the other night over the Liberty was the Commissioners Cup where the top teams at mid-season play each other. Lot's of money on the line.
"The total compensation tops out at $500,000, with the winning team making around $30,000 per player and the game's MVP taking home an additional $5,000. On the losing team's side, players earn $10,000 each."
So $30k bonus for Bridget Carleton.

Plus I think each player from both teams got an additional $5K in cryptocurrency from Coinbase that was the primary sponsor.
