Game 1

I didn't get to watch the game Sunday. We had too many TV shows recording on our DVR's and the game started a half hour before I went to bed. But I was very happy to read that Minnesota Lynx defeated Atlanta Dream 88-74 in Game 1 of the WNBA finals.

At the half, the Dream were leading the Lynx 39-36. The Lynx had a big fourth quarter scoring 26 points and holding the Dream to 12 points. Leading the way for Minnesota was Rebekkah Brunson with 26 points, Seimone Augustus chipped in with 22 points and Lindsay Whalen had 15 points.

Game 2 will be played Wednesday in Minnesota at 8 p.m. on ESPN2.
