I'm a season ticket holder and the Lynx were god awful until recently when they've increased their defensive intensity and with the loss of Whalen and Agustus, Rebekka Brunson has had to play a bigger role. She has been lackluster all year with newcomers Fowles and Cruz getting more attention. I believe she is the key to their winning a third title in six years. She clogs the middle, is physical and rebounds like crazy. She has also found her elbow jumper and is shooting with confidence. Maya Moore will play tonight after getting an elbow to the nose from Fowles last game and her return will also give the team energy. Tonight's game has four other intangibles that favor Minnesota.
1) It's a home game.
2) It's a revenge game from just over a week ago when they lost at NY.
3) Winner has the best record and home court advantage in the playoffs.
4) If the Lynx win, the clinch the Western conference title and home court to the finals.
