| Diggins should drive to the basket more.

Probably not. But she saw Gray from the right before she turned left and swung the elbow. Why swing it if there's no one there? |
The swing is to pivot for an outlet pass. It was clearly a foul since she has to know where people are at, but it was in no way flagrant. |
The elbow doesn't need to be that high nor that wide to pivot for an outlet pass. Knowing PP, I think she was at least trying to intimidate with her elbow, even if she wasn't actually trying to hit anyone. |
Is PP known as a dirty player? I'll admit to not knowing much about her before joining the Lynx.

| Christmas with 3 PF before half. Not good, as she has the assignment on Moore.

| Sometimes, you just want to hear the squeak of the shoes and bounce of the ball... These announcers are non-stop blabbers.

Not dirty, but very tough. I like her, but she'll do what it takes.

| I didn't see that foul on Diggins. Granted I'm biased, but I didn't see it.

| Wings need a shooter? Who's a threat beyond the arc?

It was really iffy. They are calling just about everything right now. Wish they would let them play more.
They were doing it to the Lynx at the end of the first, now they are getting the Wings.

| Plaisance got lucky. That wasn't a charge but a block.

i think diggins and johnson need to work together exclusively in practice.
they just don't have a connection on offense. they need to be hi-lowing the hell out of teams with glory's athleticism, but glory cannot get the ball.

| Breanna Lewis has gotten in the game. That means we have four rookies on rosters who have not gotten on the floor yet, all of them first round picks.

Nice to see Jones getting minutes in the rotation. She looked good defensively on Diggins.
Damn lucky Davis with that bank 3...

| I missed watching most of the first half but Jia only played 35 seconds according to the boxscore. Did she get hurt or just fall out of the rotation?

My guess is that they are going with Jones due to her speed. I think Perkins got burnt twice on backdoor cuts in her 35 seconds.

| Maya has looked terrible on defense in this game. She is constantly leaving her feet or overplaying her assignment. Ends up way out of position.

| Syl just needs to drive around Paris. She has no chance of stopping her.
