Big minutes from Ta'Niya Latson and Mai Yamamoto. They connect and extend the Aces lead early in the 4th quarter. #WNBASky
Cotie McMahon has strung together so many good games in a row. She has earned every bit of her extended and consistent playing time. #WNBASky
Heavily guarded baseline floater from A'ja Wilson. You can be completely in her space and it doesn't matter. #WNBASky
Nah, it's the look off for me. Chelsea Gray will move the defense with her eyes to create shots... every. single. game. #WNBASky
This isn't a fluke. The Mystics are for real. They entered tonight on a 7 game winning streak. They are tied with the defending champs on the road at halftime. #WNBASky
To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Kelsey Mitchell has another 20 point game. And in the 1st half! She extends her WNBA record to 17 straight games with 20+ points. #WNBASky
Watching back some 2017 WNBA footage today. Just ran across this feature on Kobe Bryant's relationship with Jewell Loyd 😭😭😭 #WNBASky
Seattle wanted back in the win column. They got there behind a massive game from Dominique Malonga. #WNBASky
"Chelsea Gray has the ability to think 2 passes ahead." They were already seeing it in 2016. #WNBASky
Good recognition from Angel that no low-side help was there. From there it's a fast first step and a quick lay-up on the other side of the basket. #WNBASky
We're still in the first quarter and Marina Mabrey already has 3 3s from wayyyy outside! #WNBASky
There are 45 times in WNBA history where a player has scored 40+ points. Kayla McBride's 1 FTA is by far the least FTAs in a 40 point game in WNBA history. The next closest is DeWanna Bonner's 5 FTAs in her 41 point game on 6/8/23. (Via @basketball-reference.com and @stathead.com) #WNBASky
Flowers for Kayla McBride! Coach Reeve takes her reset timeout to make sure the Lynx fans can honor K-Mac for her record setting 10 3PM performance. 💐💐💐 #WNBASky
Kayla McBride has the record! The first player in WNBA history to hit double digit 3 pointers in a single game! That extends her career high to 43 points as well! #WNBASky
The steal from Olivia Miles followed by yet another absurd look away pass on the break to Natasha Howard. That's 13 assists on the game for her.
NINE 3s for Kayla McBride!! She has tied the all-time single game record in WNBA history! #WNBASky
Make that EIGHT 3s for Kayla McBride with 6+ minutes still left on the clock! #WNBASky
Kayla McBride's 7th (!!!) 3 of the game, and Olivia Miles' 9th assist of the game. #WNBASky
From the start of June until now Olivia Miles is shooting .449 from 3 (48/107). That includes 3/4 from distance in the first half today. #WNBASky
Shakira Austin already has 12p in her first 10 minutes on the floor today. Tough spin move into an off handed hook shot here. #WNBASky
Olivia Miles has played 11 games in the last month. The Lynx are 10-1 in those games. - 22.7 PPG - 6.1 APG - 4.7 RPG - 2.6 TOs - .495/.491/.840 shooting - 31.3 MPG She is still improving. A scary thought for the rest of the WNBA. #WNBASky
Who is gonna start asking the hard questions because Paige Bueckers is clearly NOT real 👽👽👽 The off handed scoop lay after the dribble combo through traffic, though? #WNBASky
I BELIEVE IN GAWDDDDDDD !!!! Chelsea Lakeisha MF Gray called GAMEEE! And A'ja with the stop and steal! #WNBASky
POINT GAWD !!!! Sends it to OT after the loose ball lands in her hands right at the 3 point line. This freaking game !!! #WNBASky
Essential listen. Dr. Anna Baeth joined the No Offseason podcast to discuss trans inclusion in sports. By her estimate the participation rate of trans women in Olympic and Paralympic sports is .0000007% - roughly 1 in 1.4 Million athletes. 1/3
Sonia Citron was 2/9 from the field with 2 minutes left in Wings / Mystics. That didn't shake her at all. She hit HUGE back to back buckets to put Washington up 5. It's only year 2 of her career and she's already building a resume as a stone cold killer in the clutch. #WNBASky
