Breaking down Thursday’s round two matchups, starting with Lynx/Mercury going all the way down to the wire as Sylvia Fowles returned to the lineup, Diana Taurasi having a big first half as the Mercury jumped out to an early lead, plus what made the difference late in what was a tie game at the start of the fourth quarter. Then we dive into a disappointing exit for the Sparks as Nneka Ogwumike was a late scratch and Connecticut jumped out to a double-digit lead early and managed to hold firm the rest of the way.
