Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

I mentioned that the Phoenix Mercury are a team others don’t want to see, and there’s upset potential here. It feels like the Mercury blew their chance, as they got top level play from their stars and still lost. The Mercury had a lead with two minutes to play and still lost. At least they covered. I don’t feel great about a series win after blowing Game 1, I’m grabbing the points again with the Mercury. As good as the Lynx are the Mercury are loaded with experience and players built for the playoffs. While Cloud and Taurasi may not be as efficient offensively again, Griner is capable of giving more scoring wise. I’ve said it all year, the Mercury won’t go down quietly. Give me the points.
