| The Minnesota Lynx Look To Trample the Tulsa Shock |
The best place to wager on the WNBA is the online sportsbook BetPhoenix. The Minnesota Lynx insist they still have the confidence that helped produce their longest winning streak in three years, but a third consecutive loss might begin to erode some of that resolve. The Lynx will try to prevent that by winning their fourth straight over the last-place Tulsa Shock on Thursday night. After dropping its season opener, Minnesota (5-3) reeled off five consecutive victories and prevailed by double digits in four of those games. A slow start against Seattle on Friday, though, kept the Lynx from extending their longest win streak since a 5-0 start to the 2008 season. Minnesota fell 65-55 to the Storm and then lost again Sunday, 78-75 to Indiana. Minnesota scored two points over the final 2:19 and allowed the Fever to go ahead for good with 1:06 to play. Rookie Maya Moore matched a career high with 21 points, but only four came in the second half as she ran into foul trouble. The Lynx were trying for a franchise-best 4-0 home start. “Our (swagger) hasn’t been shot down - just weakened,” guard Candice Wiggins said. “In fact, I think teams should fear that because … we have so many weapons and so much confidence.” Another matchup with the woeful Shock (1-8) might help Wiggins and her teammates maintain that attitude. Minnesota jumped out to 25-8 lead over Tulsa on June 7 and went on to win 75-65 at home. Rebekkah Brunson sparked the fast start with seven of her team’s first nine points, and she finished with a team-best 17 points and 15 rebounds. The veteran forward is one of eight players in WNBA history to average a double-double in a season, and she appears on her way to repeating that feat. She is scoring 12.1 points and grabbing a league-high 12.3 rebounds per game. While the Lynx are among the league’s best on the boards at 39.3 rebounds a contest, the Shock are near the bottom at 30.6. Tulsa also ranks low with 72.4 points, 40.1 percent shooting, 83.4 points allowed and a 48.1 field-goal percentage defense mark. They’re coming off their third defeat of at least 20 points, 83-63 at Washington on Sunday. The Mystics, who like the Lynx run an up-tempo offense, held Tulsa to 35.3 percent shooting. The Shock, losers of three straight, shot a season-worst 33.8 percent in the loss to Minnesota. “It’s got to be mind hurting because you work so hard in practice and you don’t get a paycheck, which is a victory,” Shock coach Nolan Richardson said. “That can wear on anyone.” Liz Cambage, selected right after top overall pick Moore in this year’s draft, has been a bright spot for her struggling club with double-digit scoring performances in all eight of her games. The 6-foot-8 Australian is averaging a team-best 15.3 points and her 6.4 rebounds per game rank second. Since moving to Tulsa after the 2009 season, the Shock have lost four of six matchups with the Lynx and two of three at home. The Tulsa Shock finally get in the winning mode and they take down the Minnesota Lynx. Play on the Tulsa Shock
