Lynx Championship Parade Route Set For Friday

“We’re not in the WNBA Finals without Rebekkah Brunson”. “If you know Maya, Maya is one of the best people you ever come around”.

The 2015 WNBA championship was decided Wednesday night with a fifth and final game.

The Indiana Fever had a two-point edge after the first frame but then faded and became an unrecognizable team.

By midway through the third quarter, Minnesota had a firm grasp of the game and rolled easily to a 69-52 win over the Fever.

Unfortunately, even marathon free concerts at Prince’s house to honor the WNBA champions must come to an end at a few point, and this did in pretty much the only way it could have.

He noted that their championship is the culmination of another incredible season. Well, not themselves. As many noted on Twitter, remember Butler vs. UConn in 2011? Peters scored two points in eight minutes, while Liston didn’t play in the title-clinching game. Yet, they only trailed by six at halftime thanks to their defense.

The Fever stunned the heavily favored Lynx in 2012, beating them at home in Game 1 and finishing them off back home in Indiana to dethrone the champions. In fact, each of them got emotional just talking about it. They finished the game with 21. Indiana shot just 35 percent from the field on the night as its star, Tamika Catchings, led her side with 18 points.

Offensively, 20 points from Sylvia Fowles and 16 from Seimone Augustus provided Minnesota’s offense with enough of a boost to pull away in the second half, as the veteran Lynx closed out Indiana with conviction. “And I think they also needed to adjust to me”. She won out, getting both a title and Finals MVP trophy.

Moore finally got on the board with 6:43 to play in the second quarter, hitting a 3-pointer to cap an 8-0 Lynx run.

It’s a shame that Game 5 was not even close.

After wrapping up the title before a franchise-record 18,933 fans, the team traveled by limousine to a victory party at Paisley Park, the 55,000 sq ft compound in suburban Minneapolis where his recording studios and private home are located.

“I didn’t feel like I was struggling when I was playing”, Moore said. “We [usually] start the season and finish the season with the same roster”.

“She’s a once-in-a-lifetime player for a coach to be able to coach”. It was so slow and everybody was trying to move. First and foremost, we didn’t do anything easy.

It was the first time since 2009 the WNBA Finals went to five games.

There were growing pains for this Fever team. From 2000-2008, the team was ranked 11th or 12th in the league in attendance, averaging around 5,000 fans per game. “So no matter what happens, this run, this is something we’re going to tell our kids and grandkids about”.

Fowles said everyone had to adjust to one another.
