More on game one:
Monica Wright was vital to the Lynx:
"She was amazing," Moore said. "She lifted us completely to another level, so much energy. Her defense, her hustle, her activity. She is vital to us, and we need that from her. When she plays like that, she gives everybody else life.
Wright does what it takes.

Has Coach Williams explained his reasoning for starting his small line-up? (I've searched around a bit, but to no avail.)
I realize Hayes exploded during Atlanta's regular season win over the Lynx.
But isn't Minny's vulnerability (such as it it) a lack of size in the frontcourt? Coach Reeve kinda acknowledged this in her post-game remarks, referencing the Dream's offensive boards and points in the paint.
I just don't see the advantage of that line-up against this team -- Brunson's the kind of "4" who is a pretty good match for McCoughtry athletically.
If Angel says Atlanta must stop being "nice," I assume that means Lori Ann will start tonight. Refs, keep a sharp watch on her: those pouts should draw technical foul calls.
