Bridget to finals! Not a great shooting game for her but the usual defensive hussle and ball sharing.

It's good her shooting wasn't needed, but like you said, she did everything else well. Defensive effort, ball movement, and no turnovers. If she made a shot or two it would have been an absolute blowout and it already wasn't very close. The 11 point margin to end the game was the only time it got even that close in the second half.

Breanna Stewart misses a FT to win in regulation, and a layup to tie at the buzzer in OT. Too bad.

I was watching 3 events ISU soccer, Lynx and the 49ers switching back and forth. Great wins by two of the teams and a draw in soccer.

Lynx tie largest WNBA Finals comeback in G1 win vs. Liberty

The Lynx tied the largest comeback in WNBA Finals history by edging the Liberty in overtime in Game 1 on Thursday night.

www.espn.com

The 18-point Lynx comeback was tied for the largest in Finals history, but before Thursday, WNBA teams were 0-183 across postseason play when trailing by 15 or more points in the final five minutes of regulation. When a Betnijah Laney-Hamilton 3-pointer with 5:20 remaining gave New York an 81-66 edge, ESPN Analytics projected the Liberty for a 99.2% win probability.

Just happened to see game 2 is today on ABC, so turned it on. Lynx down 61-53 end of the third. Some frustrating plays, so really hope they get it together in the 4th to be up 2-0 heading home.

Totally spaced off the game was an afternoon and not an evening game. Flipped it on when you posted.

Can't keep digging yourself a 17-point hole and expect to win.

I haven’t watched a lot of WNBA, but today seems a bit rougher sometimes. Also a bit sloppier than I expected for the finals.

The playoffs have been very rough.

The playoffs have been very rough.

That is putting it mildly. It is way to physical at times and then they call a touch foul on a hand or arm after someone else is knocked to the floor and no call.
