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.

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

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

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

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

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

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

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

Lynx call timeout.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

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

Lynx lead 79-76

Thomas scores quickly to make it 77-76. Lynx ball. 25.3 left.

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

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

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.

70-70 3:30 to go

25-9 PHX run since the 5:45 mark in the 3rd

Wouldn't call that the prettiest two minutes and six seconds of basketball in the world, but the Lynx start the 4th 4-0 and push the lead back to 12 and Tibbetts calls time.

K-Mac with the easiest pick-six of the season.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

Agreed. No fear, Playoff Prowl is here. Just in the nick of time.

terryhorstman @terryhorstman.bsky.social · 18d

A little alarming, gotta see them get out to a clean start here in the 4th.
