Let's dive into this a bit, shall we? Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx. Quite the affair, me thinks!
Over on the Sun's side, we've got Marina Mabrey huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf, blowing down averages with 15.9 points per game, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in the last month. Not bad! Tina Charles isn't exactly loafing around either, chalking up 15.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per match in the same period.
Flip the record over, and the Lynx are clawing their way to victory led by Napheesa Collier, whose recent stats read like a grocery list of success: 22.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and a healthy side of 4.4 assists per game. Don't let your eyes skip over Courtney Williams either, clocking in a cool 12.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and a whopping 5.6 assists.
When it comes to past matchups, folks, it's a bit of a seesaw. The Lynx have a slight edge, if you'd call 3 wins out of the last 5 slight.
Now, looking at the regular season records, if we toss that 2-14 record of the Sun into the trash can where it belongs, the Lynx are sitting pretty on a very fancy 13-2 record.
Being my usual self, I'm feeling the need to point out how the Sun's recent games have had about as much shine as a solar eclipse. Loss after loss, piling up like someone forgot to take out the trash. On the Lynx's end, ahem, they've been tearing through their opposition like my uncle Tito at Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaking of dinner, how about we feast our eyes on the standings? The Sun? Rocking that secret underground bunker at #13 in the WNBA. And the Lynx? Well, they're just sitting on top of the mountain, #1, sipping a hot cocoa and waving down at the rest of us.
Taking this all into account, the roulette wheel in my brain is slowing down, and we're about to have our winner.
