The Sun are averaging 80.1 points while their defense is giving up 73.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 8th in the league while the defense is ranked 1st. In this game the defense is going to need to step up in a big way and really try to put the pressure on here. So far this postseason the Sun’s best player has been Marina Mabrey who is averaging 22 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game. 

Awful 4th Quarter Dooms Lynx

The Lynx went into the 4th quarter leading by five points, but the offense was awful in the 4th quarter and that led to the defeat. The Lynx scored only eight points in the 4th quarter while the defense gave up 16 points and that led to the 73-70 defeat. The Lynx only had seven players and the bench wasn’t good enough for sure. Naphessa Collier did have another strong game but it wasn’t enough. She ended up the game putting up 19 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. The Lynx are averaging 82 points while their defense is giving up 75.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th while the defense is ranked 2nd. In this game the offense is going to need to run up the score again. They have already lost home court advantage and this isn’t a game that they can lose. 

Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

The Lynx struggled in the first game but they are going to bounce back here. The Lynx are still averaging 82 points per game and they aren’t going to have the awful 4th quarter like they did in the first game. The Sun’s offense isn’t going to be as good and that will be the difference here as the Lynx are going to end up cruising to the victory. Back the Lynx to win this game and cover the spread.
