i feel like that Napheesa Collier, Bridget Carleton, Myisha Hines-Allen (even though McBride, Alanna, Courtney, Hiederman were really good defensively) were the only ones to show up tonight against The Connecticut Sun (Alyssa, DeWanna, Marina, DiJonai, Veronica & Olivia were very good while Brionna was ok.) in Game 1. i know people will say Phee should have went for a 2 instead 3 in the last 11 seconds of the game but were not sure if The Lynx would have won or tie the game to overtime but all The Lynx and Coach Reeve can do now is prepare for Game 2 & come out strong.

[@zuweraabdullahi1119]

The sky and fever are co-haters of the sun. 😂😂 Is gonna be fun seeing the sky and fever getting mad about the sun win. One is not happy for Marina Mabrey and the other is not happy for Dijonai Carrighton.

[@Furbabypawprints]

Wrong

[@BrandonEldridge-kx9kv]

Very good defensive game it went down to the wire! Now that's what playoff basketball 🏀 is all about I loved it.😄

[@Talkaboutitmedia5]

Clark fans hurt , Thomas did her thing this game, the seats wasn’t empty and Connecticut won 😂

[@ReviewBoard-uy5nv]

Yeah, the Sun had to play real basketball today and couldn’t scratch people’s eyes out because the refs actually do their job when Cheryl is watching

[@SkrykeVity]

This a whole dilemma for me. I fell in love with Alanna and Bridget over the season just watching them play, but I swear Marina has always been my number one pick from the get go. Especially with the performance she put on tonight it’s hard not to say she’s my favorite player in the league rn. I’m rooting for all three but Mabrey has a special place in my heart

[@MichaelMiner-k8b]

Mabrey proving to be a huge pickup by the Sun. Great move by their GM. She escaped the crippling drama in Chicago and has a chance to play for a championship now.

[@trapboyhustlazentertainmen9015]

I always felt when the Sky gave away Mabrey that they were making a mistake she’s a great f’n shooter

[@alexopperman905]

Didn’t she ask to be traded? I mean she saw the writing on the wall for chicago, great decision.

[@TheYesIsGood]

what an insane match. great talents everywhere on the board. lovin' it

[@kenk4269]

Its gonna be a war. Great game.

[@andreamarchetti7997]

We already have enough wars

[@wwjjssdd]

Lynx and Lynx fans appear disappointed they aren't playing Indiana..

[@kenk4269]

And you know this how? Man you clowns need to give it a rest.

[@andre-q2d5o]

They got swept 🧹😂

[@PSUJerseyGirl]

Yeah easy win and free turnovers

[@cdknowledge]

Yeah, I'd be much more confident playing a team who hadn't made the playoffs in almost a decade too... what a dumb comment 😂

[@ryantorres2084]

🔥🔥🔥🔥suns defense too good

[@atehdivine9834]

This is defo gonna be a tough match up fosho, and am afraid, but bring Me back here with a like on this comment when the survivor of this series takes this season home. I definitely pray and hope it’s My Lynx. Let’s GO ladies

[@Talkaboutitmedia5]

Caitlin Clark fans hurt , Thomas had a good game, the seats wasn’t empty and Connecticut won 😂 not to mention this game was 🔥 WNBA looking better without cc and her crybaby fans.

[@jimmysirait1061]

8,506 is considered empty.

[@wtf.................]

Connecticut is playing some great basketball

[@FabrizioPati-i6f]

Can anyone tell me why Dorka Juahsz doesn't even enter the court anymore?

[@rememberbeginning]

Congratulations Connecticut 👍

[@arickamcclinton554]

[@rollerphone]

I swear every time Mabrey hit one of those logo 3s, the crowd just stop breathing.

[@cperry7267ANBFPro]

This just shows that there are other players in the WNBA who can shoot 3s.

[@JaminT.Jaddua]

Lol .. they surprised me to .. but I love em'.. 😅 they're outta no where

[@oChrizzy]

Goat cheese

[@oChrizzy]

There's some deep shots, can hear the ball stroke the basket every time!

[@uptownrainfall3848]

Maybery been shooting the sh!t outta the ball these past few days.... not sky fans watching whiles bitting em fingers😂

[@carlforpresidentanthony4574]

[@infainfarb8830]

Sky Fans & AR Stans said: Marina Mabrey was the worst player on The Sky, Marina didn't embrace The Rookies, Marina wanted to be the star of The Sky, Marina was jealous of The rookies & etc, Marina got the last laugh in the end 😅🤣

[@infainfarb8830]

CC stans and Fever Stans were "Hate-Watching" The Lynx vs Sun game 1, to see if The Lynx would beat The Connecticut Sun. The fact that y'all were rooting for The Lynx on Social Media to beat The Sun was Hilarious 🤣😅🤭

[@lonelones9443]

💯 yeah most of them started to switch up and root for The Lynx to beat The Sun this week on X & instagram

[@StrygwyrBS]

CC living rent free in a lot of people’s heads. Can’t go on their day without mentioning her. 😂

[@AndreIsrael43]

Us real Lynx fans do not claim them lol

[@cdknowledge]

It's the equivalent of last year when the Lakers lost to the Nuggets in the playoffs and Lebron fans started rooting for whoever the Nuggets played next... lol No other player in the WNBA could relate cos - well, no one cares about them 😂

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@StrygwyrBS Exactly. What the hell is someone mentioning CC fans or Stans for? And if anything is proven it shows Mabrey can score against the Lynx's great defense as well.

[@danielnowak2958]

Sun is a nightmare team for Lynx.3-0 is coming.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@oChrizzy]

Owww thomas carrington mabrey whole team balllin like NBA Gonna need to keep this same energy.

[@sydneychester6112]

Mabry MONEY!! OH BABY!!!!!!

[@thatguyfromca]

lynx missed too many shots, still almost had it though

[@KarlMalowned32]

Mabrey has been on a rampage from beyond the arc. She might be the missing piece for Connecticut. On the other hand, cant expect the Lynx to shoot that poorly again.

[@cliffordhill2365]

Can't bail them out with that common excuse, the clamps were put on them defensively by the Sun. Collier just came off of a 42pt game, but the Sun wasn't having it tonight

[@mistertoppy]

Mabrey is the missing piece.. missing on lay ups🤣🤣

[@hathmurl8664]

I HOPE CC IS WATHCIN SHE HAS ALOT TO WORK ON THIS OFF SEASON

[@Hiraiowow64]

Where tf is the liberty vs aces game??

[@ReviewBoard-uy5nv]

Bitter much? The Sun wouldn’t have won if they didn’t have refs in their pocket. Enjoy the Sun, but it’s the last time

[@ReviewBoard-uy5nv]

With Cheryl Reeves watching, you know it’s a fair match up. Where were these refs last week?

[@ZeldonSinghIsFly27.]

Each game in this series will go down to the wire. Whoever takes their chances better will win.🏀

[@JaminT.Jaddua]

Whoa ! 😮 . Shocking . Connecticut actually won ??

[@ZeldonSinghIsFly27.]

Dijonai 🔛 fast breaks are elite.♥️

[@Furbabypawprints]

Looks like 100 people showed…😂

[@BeijongHojung]

Thomas ugliest shooting form in basketball 😂

[@atlsarmond]

Bill Cartwright of the WNBA 😊

[@Miv51miv51]

I realise this highlight is free, but why spoil the winner in the thumbnail?!

[@ChristalJ]

They figure you saw or heard the score somewhere else by now

[@niquenso2926]

Ohhhweee it's a series

[@TheYoubook]

🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

[@Oooyessbro]

Ratings and viewership bout to plummet drastically 😂 look at the views compared to fever games 😂

[@a1000island]

Who cares what somebody else is watching?

[@cdknowledge]

Facts. Lol with the Fever out, the WNBA just goes back to being a niche sport

[@Treyyy3]

Where is the liberty aces game

[@Teegocrazyyy]

How tf these highlights come out before the liberty highlights

[@bonajaypaslim6931]

Ikr

[@atehdivine9834]

Been asking same question for hours now

[@carlforpresidentanthony4574]

their editors are the worst, rt i think they are india or russia. its always slow to finish, the audio be missing and always out of order.

[@ryy7597]

liberty vs aces highlights where?

[@Johnjohn-ng4nr]

🥱🥱

[@cliffordhill2365]

Marina Mayberry is definitely the best acquisition by a team in the second half of the season. She takes a lot of pressure off of Bonner to score,

[@PSUJerseyGirl]

True! ❤

[@ZeldonSinghIsFly27.]

Connecticut got more weapons and all can facilitate n playmake.🫶
