Top-seeded Minnesota Lynx see dream season end early after frustrating 3-game tailspin

The Minnesota Lynx looked like a team of destiny all summer, steamrolling through the WNBA schedule with the best record as they worked to avenge their loss in the Finals last season. The dream fell apart in less than a week.

I think every smart fan agrees with Cheryl Reeves that the reffing in the W needs a complete reevaluation and overhaul. But Coach Reeves also seems to have an excuse for every big Lynx loss the past several years, and THAT part of the story is tiresome at this point. 🏀 ⛹🏽‍♀️ #WNBA #WNBAMastodon #CherylReeves #WNBARefereeing #MinnesotaLynx #2025WNBAPlayoffs
Phoenix versus Minnesota was one hell of a game last night! 💥 I just hope Napheesa is okay. That was one nasty ankle twist. She was able to walk off the court, and later back to the locker room, though. So maybe it won’t be quite as bad as it looked. 🏀 ⛹🏽‍♀️ #WNBA #WNBAMastodon #PhoenixMercury #MinnesotaLynx #2025WNBAPlayoffs #NapheesaCollier

“Although Stewart gamely fought through her injury — she scored at least 30 points for the eighth time in her postseason career — she didn’t get enough help. Stewart was the lone New York player to score in the fourth quarter of an elimination game, as a roster that was touted for its depth turned into The Stewie Show. 😭 🗽 🏀 #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty #2025WNBAPlayoffs

Best thing I did tonight was inadvertently jinx 🪄 and ice 🧊 Satou Sabally. She shot so dismally after my post that I started feeling sorry for her. 🗽 🏀 ⛹🏽‍♀️ #WNBA #WNBAMastodon #WNBAPlayoffs #2025WNBAPlayoffs #NewYorkLiberty #LibertyMastodon #SeafoamSZN
