Okay, Derek, let's start with the big picture.
The Dream are 26-14.
The Sun are 10-30 overall, but they are 3-14 in the East.
On paper, this looks like a blowout waiting to happen.
Why shouldn't we just call it now?
Because basketball isn't played on paper, Allison, and because the Sun have something to play for, they are fighting for playoff positioning, even if it's the eighth spot.
You don't take a loss lightly when you're trying to sneak into the postseason.
Right? Desperation makes good teams sloppy, but it also makes desperate teams dangerous.
I remember last week we talked about the Lynx being the odds-on favorites for the title.
Exactly.
They just came off the FIBA World Cup break, where Team USA dominated and won gold against France.
But those international breaks can be tricky for rest.
The Dream, though, they've been grinding.
Yes, that was a huge win.
Alicia Gray had 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Jordan Canada dished out 10 assists.
It showed that this team can compete with the best.
But tonight, they host the Sun.
The Sun recently had Edwards drop 26 points.
That's the kind of scoring threat that can keep this close.
