Did anyone talk about Ezi’s injury? I saw something happen mid 3Rd quarter on offense where she was limping for a moment and then towards the end of the 3rd, she laid on the floor a bit after the tie up under their basket. She was not as aggressive after the first “limp” and just seemed like she was playing hurt.
Coach Quinn mentioned she was fatigued and cramping up. I saw on the TV copy they were working on foot stretches which is normally done if there is a bad cramp in the calf. Hopefully, that's all that was.
It was definitely an exciting game which we had many chances to win. This time we rebounded ok but we made so many turnovers that definitely cost us the game. I think we only had 7 turnovers in the first game against the Lynx then we blew it up with 19 turnovers in this game which handed the Lynx 27 points I believe. They can't be that careless with the ball and get away with it (even though we almost did). It's really too bad that we didn't win it home and with Jewell scoring her most points ever with 41! Amazing game from Jewell and great games from Sami and Ezi and a very impressive performance by Rookie Dulcy Fankam Menjiadeu with 8 points and 9 rebounds. I was afraid that Joyner Holmes getting so much playing time would or could take all the P.T. away from Dulcy, so I was happy to see that they both got to play. That does bring up another point, though. Mercedes Russell didn't play at all yet they didn't say anything about her being injured. I know she has really not been very productive, but was this just a Coach's decision to not play her in favor of the younger post players or is there something more to it than that?
