Asked about the potential pressure on her team in Wednesday’s won-or-go-home game against Connecticut, Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve said Tuesday the pressure isn’t on the Lynx, it’s on the favored Sun who now need a win on the road to advance.
The 6th-seeded Lynx forced the winner-advances, loser’s-season-ends Game Three with an impressive 82-75 win at 3-seed Connecticut in Game 2.
