The Minnesota Lynx had high hopes of making the playoffs this season, but those hopes have been dashed after a tough loss to the Seattle Storm. The Lynx had been on a hot streak, winning five of their last six games, and looked poised to make a strong push for the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Storm had other plans. They came out firing, shooting an impressive 52% from the field and outscoring the Lynx in every quarter. The Lynx were unable to keep up with the Storm’s offensive onslaught, and ultimately fell by a score of 88-76.
The loss was a crushing blow to the Lynx’s playoff hopes. With only four games remaining in the regular season, the Lynx are now two games behind the Storm in the standings. This means that even if the Lynx win all their remaining games, they would still be behind the Storm in the standings.
The Lynx will now have to rely on other teams to lose in order to make the playoffs. This is a difficult task, as the teams ahead of them in the standings are all playing well and have their sights set on making the playoffs.
The loss to the Storm was a tough pill to swallow for the Lynx and their fans. It was an opportunity for them to make a statement and prove that they are a legitimate playoff contender. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
The Lynx will now have to regroup and focus on finishing the season strong. They still have four games left, and they will need to win them all in order to have any chance of making the playoffs. It will be a tough road ahead for the Lynx, but they still have a chance to make something special happen this season.
