UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — After struggling in the last game offensively, Napheesa Collier wasn't going to let it happen again.
The Lynx's star scored 26 points and Minnesota beat the Connecticut Sun 90-81 on Friday night to take a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-five semifinal matchup.
“Everyone has an off night and I try to contribute in other ways to help the team,” said Collier, who had only nine points on 3-of-14 shooting in Game 2.
She has put in the work all season on both ends of the court and the league's runner-up for MVP had the confidence to know the poor shooting game was a one-off.
