After the Lynx lost at New York on Tuesday, coach Cheryl Reeve talked about problems on both ends of the court that have contributed to an 0-2 start.
The Lynx have had a 10-point quarter in both games. Tuesday the team shot 37.8%, a number bolstered by center Sylvia Fowles' 11-for-17 performance. On defense, the Lynx struggled to stop Phoenix in the paint in the season opener and had difficulty with New York's pick-and-roll offense. Sabrina Ionescu became the youngest player in WNBA history with a triple-double on a night when dribble penetration by the Liberty resulted in kick-outs for numerous open three-point attempts.
