She has gotten A TON of help from the dozen or so doofuses on this season, but give her credit.

So congrats, Sparkle Megan. You are by far the best part of by far the worst show I watch ✨💫🌟💫✨

I would have bet the house on hating her the most at the beginning of episode one. Now here she is atop the power rankings making the extra pass just like "Jai-meh"

There's still one #LoveIsBlind episode to go, but, my god, Sparkle Megan is really about to pull off the most unexpected character redemption arc since Jamie Tartt

And Lynx Happy Hour DOES in fact return this week, as I have finally returned from under the Tuscan sun.

DID I MISS ANYTHING?!?!?!

I don’t know if I fully agree with this or not, but it is odd to me the black has become the full default color for the trees era. They only ever wore the whites at home and usually the blues on the road.

I love em all but most of my formative memories are of them in the white trees.

And be sure to follow my guy @dylankanesports.bsky.social and read everything he writes on the Mercury beat!

Anyways, y'all are amazing, enjoy the basketball, and the Lynx often seem to have weird games on the road when I've attended this year so guessing they go 2-0 in the desert and then ban me from all future road trips.

Salute! 🍷🥂💅

My colleagues at @theixbasketball.bsky.social and @hittingthehardwood.bsky.social will have the same great, probably even better, Lynx coverage and I'll be back on Oct. 3. The day the Finals start.

It's up to the Lynx to make me go straight from MSP to Target Center upon arrival and I hope they do

Sadly stepping away from boots on the ground coverage for the rest of the semifinals because I'm not-so-sadly gonna be in Italy for a family wedding. I may put the pasta and the wine down to file a thing or two and/or hang on postgame Zooms at 5 am because I can never truly step away.

Final: Lynx 83, Mercury 89

Phoenix steals the game and the homecourt advantage.

They outscored the Lynx 50-24 after the Lynx took their biggest lead of the night at 59-39 w/ 5:45 to go in the 3rd.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 22d

Phoenix is gonna do it.

2nd time in less than a month in this building the Lynx have let a lead of 20+ get away. Lots to think about before tipping off in the desert on Friday.

Copper hits a 3 in front of the Lynx bench and pushes the PHX lead to 85-79 w/ 1:47 left in OT

PHX draws first blood in the OT and lead 81-79. Their first lead in SOME TIME

Phee's attempt at the buzzer is no good. To overtime we go.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 22d

Whitcomb drills a cold-blooded three w/ 3.4 on the clock. We're tied again. 79-79.

Lynx call timeout.

Court hits 2 at the line. PHX ball. 20.7 to go.

And they're called for a five second violation. Unreal.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 22d

Lynx have the ball and lead 77-74 w/ 46.8 to go.

Sabally rebounds her own miss and puts it in to cut it to a one-possession game. Lynx have had a hard time finishing at the rim and they need one here.

Another Lynx turnover and an and-1 by Satou in transition.

She ties it at the line.
