Can Napheesa Collier guide Lynx to 2-0 lead against Mercury on special day?

Collier had a quiet night but came up big in key moments, finishing with 18 points and nine rebounds. However, the true hero of the night was Courtney Williams, who delivered a game-high 23 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and five steals, becoming just the fifth player in league history to record a 20-point, 5-rebound, 5-assist, and 5-steal performance in the postseason.

As Collier rings in her 29th trip around the sun, no occasion seems too big for her, as she continues to step up and shine on the biggest stages time and time again. She will be even more fired up throughout the series after losing the MVP. She is certainly capable of producing a moment of brilliance that could decisively swing the series in the Lynx’s favor.
