    Let's see if they can come back like the Lynx did.

    They almost choked it away I can't believe it. Off an inbounds turnover.

    Minny ain't been that physical the entire 3 games prior. Fowles showed OUT. Brunson did work underneath, too. I don't know what the inside numbers are, but it seems they outrebounded us by at least a dozen.

    That Whalen play early on, that was a message. I'm not saying it was anything wrong or dirty... I mean, it was an F1, it was called an F1; I've got no problem with it... but it definitely set the tempo that this wasn't the Minny team from games 1, 2, and 3.

    I'm'a be so nervous Wednesday. :blush:

    They're not going to. They're at home with the crowd behind them, refs allowing them to be physical with us underneath but we can't be physical underneath on their end, and I don't just say that just to be saying it. But the commentators... and one of them is Lobo, who definitely tends to be pro-Lynx by way of Maya being a fellow UCONN alum... have said multiple times that a Sparks player had incidental contact against a Lynx yet a foul was called.

    The refs have essentially ruined a great game with inconsistent foul calls.
