"You got to talk about us now, you've got no choice," Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said after her team beat the New York Liberty 94-89 to win the Commissioner's Cup Trophy. "We don't really care what you think, except for right now, when we get to say to you, 'You've got to talk about us.' "We just beat a superteam. You know how hard that is to do? Because you guys love your superteams. That's all you want to talk about. But we just beat a superteam. Let's talk about it." Last season, the WNBA narrative was dominated by discussion of so-called superteams Las Vegas and New York. They met for the 2023 Commissioner's Cup, won by the Liberty, and then in the WNBA Finals, won by the Aces. The Lynx -- whose dynasty years ran from 2011 to 2017, when they won four titles and went to two other Finals -- are ready to be back in the conversation about WNBA championships. The way they played Tuesday proved that, as has their 13-3 start this season. The Commissioner's Cup, an in-season competition started in 2021, has grown in prestige among the players, who compete for a $500,000 prize pool. The Cup format was changed this year with each team playing five regular-season games, rather than the previous 10, to determine their place in the Cup standings. Another change was having all the Cup games in a two-week span and then the final, all in June. "I like the format this year. I like that it's so condensed," said Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, who was the game's MVP with 21 points and 6 rebounds. "It's easier to follow for the fans, and for us [players]. "And it means a lot. We're competitors, and you want to win every game you're in. The money makes it really fun as well. It's a great team we just beat, it's a game we won and we won some money. So it's like a trifecta." That was an appropriate term, considering the game was at UBS Arena next to horse racing's Belmont Park. The Liberty's better finish in Cup play gave them hosting rights, but their home, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, was unavailable Tuesday as it was being prepared for Wednesday's NBA draft. Still, the Liberty crowd showed up loud and especially cheered on Courtney Vandersloot, who returned after missing eight games because of her mother's death from cancer, and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, back after missing three games with a knee injury. They helped the Liberty get a 50-47 halftime lead. But Minnesota took over in the third quarter, outscoring New York 19-10, and then held off the Liberty in the final quarter. Collier is the Lynx's star, but they also got big games from Bridget Carleton (23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists) and Cecilia Zandalasini (15 points off the bench). The two combined to shoot 13-of-16 from the field. Breanna Stewart (24 points, 11 rebounds) and Sabrina Ionescu (23 points, 10 rebounds) led New York. Like Collier, they are on the U.S. 5-on-5 Olympic team coached by Reeve. The Liberty's issue Tuesday, more than anything, was their 21 turnovers. That and the resilience of the Lynx. Reeve isn't shy about saying her team, which rose to No. 1 Monday in the ESPN Power Rankings, has been underestimated. And even though Tuesday's game doesn't count in the regular-season standings, the message the Lynx sent was clear. "We have a lot of offensive threats, but on defense, we're so solid," Collier said. "That's why it's so hard to play against us. Our aggressiveness, our willingness to sell out on anything [because] we have each other's backs. "This is the most talented, most fun team I've been on since I've been here. We want to build on this, we don't want to peak here. We want to achieve bigger things than this at the end of the season." 2872751c44b2b8bce1ec160be9f3416c Cce8d3906479cf1ff76a4903d71db9ba 9ace677b16804084b10898c5ffaad9f4 55f0d27ead60f9c159460c84cfec08c4 TELERO Kitchen With Island Euromobil 326788 Rel73f97f88 Ff0b35ffc0099f470368acbe0e722ddc 03 White Subway Tile In Kitchen Interior Design 768x1024 NG9vc5fQmGfyAiZ6VyRDAf TL91171 Blog.webp 83064a72583d2c7559fa0677f2aa79b6 F686a30d13171f317decd2c4f3bf5799 Green Cabinet Kitchen Tan Accents A6aN3byi4BFB489ofdJdKU E39361afa7374480a562781d04f8a131 Kitchen Remodel Ideas 2023 Liana S 983d1463e81753bc835262eb3750a699 Featured Image Kitchen Floor 64aa3fea771f08e68db83191a5b22760 Beaf2700789eb6bf66e763e849744b51 WIS11963 3ae9ea483e4d87dee934e38fd51fd822 Kitchen Backsplash Ideas Turner Pak Atlanta 1640701465 Popular Kitchen Flooring 2021 Ceramic Tiles F80e50505efe12ca97734b023344fbec D2f1bc940097d864d1b8d2e0fd032229 F76ca9ee4e61984f9003fd96a558ec1b 6 Kitchen Floor Tile Designs Kitchen Flooring Ideas 1 ?resize=700%2C700&ssl=1 Daltile Cinematic Interior Ideas For Kitchen Tile Floor C07fb718725d02eb392afab786613d78 D7e200dda06ece2e69b0cefab686dc58 798129d14c390e37045ce3fe81c9266c
