I’m still scratching my head at the twin meltdowns of the Western Conference’s top two teams last night. In their respective fourth quarters, the Lynx scored five points on 2/14 shooting and had eight turnovers. The Sparks put up four points on 2/10 shooting with nine turnovers.
I don’t know what it means. But the situation seems a little more dire in Minneapolis at the moment, where the Lynx have lost four of their last five games. It remains to be seen whether Los Angeles will try to duplicate their efforts in Seattle over the next week.
In the meantime tonight, Shavonte Zellous returned to the court to lead the Fever over the Silver Stars, 80-63.
The Lynx tweeted that San Antonio’s loss means Minnesota has clinched a playoff berth. No word on the dot-com about that yet.
The race for the playoffs is getting tight.
