Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 15:00:13 GMT

Cheryl Reeve did not know what the result of Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs series on Sunday in Connecticut was going to be. But the Lynx coach and general manager was sure of one thing: Napheesa Collier was going to play well.Yes, that’s a sturdy limb to stand on, but Reeve was indeed correct, as Collier went off for 26 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and a block to power the Lynx to an upset victory that forced a decisive Game 3 in Minnesota on Wednesday to determine the outcome of the first-round series.The production came all while pushing through a pinched nerve that only briefly sidelined her in the game. That’s what the 26-year-old does.The main reason for Reeve’s confidence in Collier is simple.“She’s awfully good,” the coach said. “Napheesa Collier is a helluva basketball player. So you can’t hold those kinds of players down.”But also, when adversity rings, Collier is the first to answer the call. That, Reeve noted, is R...
