Candace with 24 pts 9 rbs and Nneka with 21 pts 9 rbs to lead all scorers to a comfortable win. Candace brought it from tip off, and contributed more in this game in the first quarter than she did in all of Game 2 combined. She attacked the basket, even with Brunson draped all over her and was completely unstoppable. When she is determined like that, there is no better player in the league...simply put. She was unbelievable.
But I have to give gameball to Essence Carson. She harassed the sh!t out of Maya Moore all game and held her to 9 points. Maya couldn't get a clean look from the perimeter, and Essence stayed in front of her to prevent drives to the basket. Then she goes ahead and throws in 16 points and 4 triples for good measure, including a pair of back breakers to put the game out of reach. Honorable mention to Alana Beard who added 15 pts and 7 rebounds.
LA is the team to beat when they all come out and play hard. If they play at this level in Game 4, they will win no matter what Minnesota brings to the table. And this is a game where Toliver shot terribly, and they still won going away.
Come on and get it done now! Wrap up the championship at home!
