🇨🇦 Stand up! Cold-blooded shot, Bridget Carleton!!

[@rollerphone]

This game was so good, I don't think the highlights do enough justice here.

[@infainfarb8830]

Bridget Carleton needs to get her Flowers and her appreciation like ASAP, I'm tired of Y'all ( Don't Worry, Lynx Fans I'm not talking about you, we know Lynx Fans Appreciate and gives BC her props.) ignoring and looking down on Carleton like she not the one who also doesn't impacts The Lynx team along side with Collier, Courtney & Alanna. it's getting real disrespectful. what was sad was that i only saw like two comments about Bridget Carleton in The WNBA "Lynx vs Liberty" youtube highlight video where bridget scored like 19 points in that game but i saw more comments about Napheesa and Courtney than about Bridget Carleton's wonderful game against The Liberty. Bridget was the highest scorer (19 Points) on the Lynx team against The Liberty on Sunday and most people (except for The Lynx Fans) pretended that her contribution didn't exist in that game. I'm Happy for Bridget Carleton but the disrespect has to stop.

[@lonelones9443]

I 💯 Agree

[@paaphoward5635]

Tough 3 I had 350$ on Lynx carlton saved my future

[@wnbaLover]

Totally agree 🎉

Love watching BC play!!

[@Mc_Lance1]

The wild game of the year lynx and suns ,haymaker aftet haymaker shout to napheesa collier and alysa thomas . But bridget carleton ice in her veins hit the dagger shot 🔥💯

[@moedark4390]

they completely quit . chennedy and reese both with phantom excuses to bail on their team

[@lionelhowell4972]

For me, it was the Indiana at Dallas game Michell VS Enrekae. What a show!!

[@Mc_Lance1]

@@lionelhowell4972 ok but for me this one. Playing for the two seed. More intense.

[@danielnowak2958]

​@@Mc_Lance1 Yeah, and high level.

[@jeaniekim9951]

Excellent game. Down to the wire! Clutch shots in the last minutes! 🎉

[@tsai0047]

That last Lynx shot is so indicative of Lynx basketball. Yes, everyone knows they want the ball in Collier’s hands at the end, but when the double comes, there is complete trust in teammates to knock down the difficult shot. Lynx culture right there. Reeve is a mastermind.

[@KarlMalowned32]

Carleton has to be the front runner for Most Improved Player of the Year this season. Far and away her best season ever. It’s amazing what starting can do for a struggling bench warmer. Good for Carleton, big part of the reason why the Lynx will be a tough out this postseason.

[@ajwalker2365]

I think with the Cyclone now as a legitimate weapon that Lynx are odds on favorite to win it all

[@killology4896]

What a game.. thats competition.. great fight Lyx

[@lionelhowell4972]

Carlton has been lights out from 3 all season.

[@takerfan4ever]

I got Lynx winning it all, barring Fever pulling a 1st and 2nd round upset. Sun need to utilize Mabrey more. She's a bucket.

[@jdagreat4595]

Fever not making it to 2nd round lol. They have to play either Seattle or con lol. Want beat them or any other team in playoffs

[@takerfan4ever]

@@jdagreat4595 They better not make it to the 2nd round, Caitlin is not someone Id be wanting to deal with period! I've seen her in big games.. add that with Mitchell. The Fever are just one of those teams that are inferior on paper, but are dangerous enough to upset you. They could beat the sun, but should be stopped by lynx. Really, anyone from the 1st round should lose to lynx. I feel it will be liberty vs lynx.. with lynx winning it all.

[@danielnowak2958]

​@@takerfan4ever I bet 150$ on Aces third championship in a row.🤷‍♂️

[@norfpoe777]

5-14 she gets her shots

[@takerfan4ever]

@@danielnowak2958 they are probably my third pick. The problem is that I've seen them as a team, at times, turn into dead weight that Aja has to carry.. while the other 2 are better as a team.

[@JP-vb4ky]

what a game!

[@markhathaway9456]

Apparently the physical nature of the game is to make it seem normal to NY. Even Thomas didn't seem out of place in this game with all the pounding on each other. No wonder Collier was afraid to go for a close basket at the end. They could easily whack her to stop it. That means you have to have heroics like Carleton from 35 feet at the end. What a stupid situation. Yeah, go Lynx. Praying the more skillful teams survive the playoffs.

[@daniloguinto74]

Thrilling game! BC won the game for the Lynx!

[@claytonlockhart5649]

Since this season has gone so far South for my Sparks, the WNBA brass won't even allow any of my girls to buy a ticket to any playoff game. I'm gonna ride wwith Cheryl Reeve and the Lynx to pick up their 5th title this year.

[@vanessagrayman2194]

That was some beautiful basketball

[@wnbaLover]

If aja wilson is not putting big number this season the MVP deserve to go to napheesa collier ❤ the commentator in the game talking napheesa being draft 6 in 2019 is wild. haha she became the ROY that year and elevate her game as one of the best player in the world. Bc deserve to be the most improved player of the year. 🎉❤

[@cheesyluigi]

She's been outstanding this year, I wonder if she ends up winning DPOY

[@LordPist65]

What an ending!

I loveeeeee lynxxxx

Lynx for this year's championship 😁 🏆

[@agangleta5416]

That's what we call a defensive physical game the highlights don't do enough justice. AT is so important for the Sun

[@ItsMa4]

Carleton in the clutch 🎉 that's my girl

I can not decide if #6 is prettier or #8 is prettier. Or is actually #21?

wow that was dope.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Great game Lynx! 🔥

[@Benzy-d3u]

This was a sensational game between two WNBA heavyweights getting after it! Collier should get serious MVP consideration for the year she's had for the #2 seeded Lynx!! The Lynx came out on top and have been the hottest team in the WNBA since the Olympic break. This felt like a playoff game!! Lynx are the favorites in my eyes to be the last team standing in the playoffs!!!

[@mindiolajohn]

They have a legit shot. The only team above them in the standings is New York, and the Lynx have beat them twice this season, including an absolute thumping in Minneapolis. Las Vegas are obviously a tough out, but outside of AW, they seem disconnected and inconsistent. Gonna be a helluva playoffs.

[@danielnowak2958]

They are 13-1 after olympic break.😮

[@haditaleb2727]

Lynx will be in the finals as I said before. Napheesa is playing an MVP level.

[@starfishlia]

I think Lynx are winning championship this year

[@danielnowak2958]

Minnesota winning it all

Lynx winning it all this year.

[@jadem1375]

Let’s go Lynx! …Carleton 😮

[@nellurban7826]

carleton just casually bookending the game with threes

[@israelPoplife]

They should use Alanna more. She is often open and her teammates take a contested shot instead. That's stupid basketball.

[@deborahbauman1072]

Stupid basketball with 30 wins?

[@israelPoplife]

@@deborahbauman1072 that decision specifically. Yes. It is.

[@samuelzelalem3079]

game of the year, great shot by bridget and collier played awesome too

[@KevinSmith-z2h]

Minnesota really earned that win in a close one against Connecticut.

[@travisrichmond905]

Great game!!

[@gamingsolutiontips]

Regardless of the outcome of this game congratulations to the Sun for making the playoffs. This game is what the Sun needed in the playoff atmosphere and the neutral sight officiating. Question is did the team learn anything from this experience and will we see an adjustment come playoff time?

[@SkolneyVikings]

Carleton has gone from bench player to one of the most clutch shooters in the league.

[@lawrencewong100]

that last second 3 points HURTS badly!!

Don't tell me there going to DANCE again.😂😂😂😂

Well done lynx

[@djverca6268]

Who can stop the Lynx? Congrats on your upcoming chip.

[@toddb9311]

The game had a playoff vibe and MN was sloppy in Q1. I love the Lynx but they only won 19 games last year and might not be battle-tested. Something to keep an eye on when the playoffs come around.

[@anmlkvp]

Helluva game. Phee was automatic. Carlton stayed locked

[@tntae9394]

Sun and Lynx may have been dull for most of the game but it was the last few minutes that went back and forth. I wouldn’t mind seeing this in a playoff setting. Hey, it’s not a Minnesota win without the clutchness of Napheesa and a set YOUKNOWWHATS from Carlton who’s been shooting out of her mind. Lynx are so fun to watch and I hope they win it all.

If somebody called this the game of the year they would get no argument from me, though there have been many. Minnesota is so much fun to watch, they really are a well-oiled machine. If they get fair officiating I say watch out!!!!Fever versus Lynx final would be beautiful....

[@jmoney7575]

I like the aces but i feel like its going to be a rematch of the commissioners cup game in the finals between the lynx and the liberty unless they have to face eachother before then
