Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, June 15, 2006

Seattle used a balanced attack and took advantage of a pretty lethargic performance by the Lynx to win 74-66 and end their two game losing streak.

Seimone Augustus continued to impress the home crowd with her offensive talents by scoring a new career high of 32 points, but no other teammate scored in double figures. In the games they've won, the Lynx have moved and shared the ball. Last night there was too much standing around.

"Seattle did a good job of getting out and pressuring our wings, making passes difficult," Lynx coach Suzie McConnell Serio said. "We looked like spectators out there."

Three former Lynx players were key for the victory as Betty Lennox and Janell Burse combined for 29 points and Shaun Gortman did a nice job defensively on Augustus at the end of the game as the Storm pulled away in the fourth quarter.
