Another elimination game. Go Mercury!

I think we match up really well with Minnesota. Not sure if Sylvia Fowles is playing today though, that would suck.

We are playing on house money to be honest so let’s lay it all out on the floor. We lost our starting center and one of our starting guards for the season, had 7 players dressed for several games and were decimated by injuries. Yet here we freaking are.

if we beat Minnesota, and if LA beats Connecticut then we play the Aces in the semi finals. We beat the Aces twice this season. We have a legitimate shot of making the finals to face the Storm (assuming they win). I know I am looking far ahead but I am fired up.

Let’s destroy Minnesota tonight ladies.

Peddy with the start. I kind of liked her off the bench as their spark, but I understand why they are having her start. We need to start fast and play hard and she brings that.

 

[BC867]

Sylvia Fowles is back and at Center for Minnesota.

They are going big at the 3-4-5.

 

[thirty-two]

Hitting shots! Great start. Peddy with a 3 and 2 steals already. Keep it up!

 

[BC867]

The Mercury are off to a 15-7 lead.

 

[thirty-two]

Minnesota on a 10-0 run

 

[BC867]

After being down by 12, Minnesota comes back and
is down by one at the end of the first quarter.

Dantas has been killing us this half. No way she continues to be that hot. Mercury down by 2 with 5 min left in the half

 

[BC867]

Peddy. who was hit in the face, is being checked out to see if her vision is affected.

 

[BC867]

At the half, the Mercury are up by 9 after DT's '3', 46-37.

 

[thirty-two]

Mercury up 46 to 37. Tuarasi with 16. Role players hitting some shots and Vaughn doing her usual jumpers. I hope Peddy is okay and can come back next half.

 

[BC867]

Peddy is back and starting the second half.

 

[BC867]

Fowles is rusty and missing shots.

 

[BC867]

Their Dangerfield (their leading scorer and WNBA Rookie of the Year) and
our Skylar both off to slow starts in scoring this game.

Fowles signaled her bench that she's winded in this, her first game back.

 

[thirty-two]

Keep Fowles in! She’s doing great!
