There it is. Let the carousel ACCELERATE! Also lol, had a great talk with the always amazing @classicjpow.bsky.social this morning for this week's Lynx Happy Hour BEFORE this news dropped, so keep that in mind when you hear me say dumb things like 'I think Seattle could be a really good fit!'

News @theathletic.com: In a statement, the WNBPA's Terri Jackson issued a rebuke of Adam Silver's framing of players' financial demands. "(Share is) not in their vocabulary.” That, plus NEWS about an in-person CBA meeting which Cathy and Phee both attended: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

Shooters shoot

And Lynx Happy Hour DOES in fact return this week, as I have finally returned from under the Tuscan sun. DID I MISS ANYTHING?!?!?!

Sadly stepping away from boots on the ground coverage for the rest of the semifinals because I'm not-so-sadly gonna be in Italy for a family wedding. I may put the pasta and the wine down to file a thing or two and/or hang on postgame Zooms at 5 am because I can never truly step away.

Final: Lynx 83, Mercury 89 Phoenix steals the game and the homecourt advantage. They outscored the Lynx 50-24 after the Lynx took their biggest lead of the night at 59-39 w/ 5:45 to go in the 3rd.

Phoenix is gonna do it. 2nd time in less than a month in this building the Lynx have let a lead of 20+ get away. Lots to think about before tipping off in the desert on Friday.

Copper hits a 3 in front of the Lynx bench and pushes the PHX lead to 85-79 w/ 1:47 left in OT

PHX draws first blood in the OT and lead 81-79. Their first lead in SOME TIME

Phee's attempt at the buzzer is no good. To overtime we go.

Whitcomb drills a cold-blooded three w/ 3.4 on the clock. We're tied again. 79-79. Lynx call timeout.

Court hits 2 at the line. PHX ball. 20.7 to go. Lynx lead 79-76

And they're called for a five second violation. Unreal.

Lynx have the ball and lead 77-74 w/ 46.8 to go. Sabally rebounds her own miss and puts it in to cut it to a one-possession game. Lynx have had a hard time finishing at the rim and they need one here.

Another Lynx turnover and an and-1 by Satou in transition. She ties it at the line. 70-70 3:30 to go

25-9 PHX run since the 5:45 mark in the 3rd

Wouldn't call that the prettiest two minutes and six seconds of basketball in the world, but the Lynx start the 4th 4-0 and push the lead back to 12 and Tibbetts calls time. K-Mac with the easiest pick-six of the season.

End of 3: Lynx 62, Mercury 54 The Lynx led 59-39 at the 5:45 mark. 8 turnovers and a 12-0 PHX run later and this is absolutely a game heading into the 4th. Minnesota had the chance to turn this into a true rout, now they've got plenty of work to do.

10-0 run by PHX since Phee's 3 put the Lynx up 20. Last few offensive possessions have been, in a word, 'baffling' 3rd Q turnover count: 7

Lynx lead 59-44 w/ 4:18 in the 3rd. Minnesota not taking care of the ball as well in the 3rd with 5 turnovers in just over 5 minutes here. They had 4 in the entire first half. Monique Akoa Makani w/ 7 of PHX's 12 points in the 3rd.

Sabally drills a 3 at the 5:23 mark of the 3rd. Her first bucket since the end of the 1st Q when she hit Bridget Carleton with the "too small"

The Lynx outrebounded the Mercury 11-6 in the 2nd. Despite only shooting 2-of-9 from 3, they still put up 27. 16 marks Minnesota's biggest lead of the night, but it could be much worse. This is a crucial HT for Tibbetts. PHX couldn't do a damn thing with the ball after Satou's hot start.

Commanding 2nd Q from the Lynx and they'll take a 48-32 lead into the locker room. Lynx outscored PHX 27-13 in the quarter, holding Sabally scoreless after she hit 10 in the 1st Q Big 3 ballin: Phee-17, Mac-11, Court-10 Sabally still leading PHX w/ 10

The B in BC stands for BLOCKS

Lynx open the 2nd Q on a 6-0 run, 4 by Williams & 2 by McBride, to push the lead to 27-19 and Tibbetts calls time. McBride, Williams, Smith, and Collier all with 5+ Looks like both Thomas and Collier coming back on the court after the break.

End of 1: Lynx 21, Mercury 19 Sabally leads all scorers w/ 10 and giving the Lynx hell on the offensive end. Phee countering w/ 9 on her birthday, and the Lynx are holding the rest of the Mercury to 3-of-11 FG. Lan w/ 6 pts, 4 reb, and 2 blk in just 7 minutes

Coach Reeve pregame on the gravitational pull of wanting to play with Phee Q: @michaelvoepelespn.bsky.social

Media got the chance to catch up with Masha at Lynx shootaround today. Wholesome content incoming. Pt. 1

Lynx guard Courtney Williams didn’t miss a single game in the regular season and has helped spark the Lynx to a 3-0 start in the postseason. ✍️ @terryhorstman.bsky.social

This is awesome!

Have a day, Minnesota! Even the fucking Twinkies won.

Final: Lynx 82, Mercury 69 Lynx outscore the Merc 42-22 in the 2nd half to turn this one into a no-doubter. Masha Kliundikova came off the bench in the 4th and proceeded to get a hand on every ball. Absolute x-factor in this one. Courtney led all scorers w/ 23 and added 8 reb, 7 ast, 5 stl

The Masha Game

Lynx start the 4th on a 9-3 to take their biggest lead of the game 68-62. Tibbetts calls time at the 6:31 mark
