Today just felt like a day when we were playing great basketball on both ends of the floor.The Lynx dominated the Mercury for three games, averaging 97 points a game and a double-digit victory each time. Phoenix hadnt played a home game in the playoffs until Sunday and has been on the road a majority of the last month.These players have a lot of mileage on their tires, so to speak, said Phoenix coach Sandy Brondello. But they certainly competed. Minnesota has too much chemistry I would probably say. Just different people stepping up, they play very well together.Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve acknowledged that the Lynx may have caught a bit of a break with a road-weary Mercury squad, even at home.We have a team that is fairly deep, we can throw some different things at them, she said.

She creates flow, any time shes on the floor. Shes such a timely screener. Shes gets out of her screens very quickly.Reeve added, She had some plays in that third quarter that really gave us that separation. Just being persistent.Lindsay Whalen added 11 points, all in the first half, for the Lynx, who have appeared in the WNBA Finals in five of the last six years, winning the title three times.DeWanna Bonner added 12 points and six rebounds for the Mercury.I think we definitely lost to a better team, said Phoenixs Penny Taylor. We didnt play obviously our best, but credit to them and what they were able to do. They have played well all year.Taylor, who has won three WNBA titles with Phoenix and two silver medals for Australian, finished with four points but ended her career third in franchise history in points and games, and second in steals, assists and 3-pointers. She announced her retirement after 13 seasons during the Rio Olympics break.TIP-INS:Minnesota is now 10-2 against the Mercury in the postseason.
