Asian Handicap WNBA Basketball (Final) Minnesota Lynx vs Atlanta Dream 10/3 8:30AM GMT+8
The WNBA Finals have turned into a matchup of (a) the team (Minnesota) that played the best basketball in the league all season; and (b) the team (Atlanta) that played the best basketball in the league in the final month.
Minnesota has earned a spot in the WNBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. The Lynx had never won a playoff series before coming into this postseason run. Atlanta is making its second straight trip to the WNBA Finals after getting swept last season by Seattle.The way Seattle dominated the league in 2010 is not unlike what the Lynx have done this year. Minnesota won more games than any other team, was strong both at home and on the road and has a bevy of ways to hurt the opponent, from the scoring of Seimone Augustus (averaging 20.4 points per game in the postseason), to the gritty play of point guard Lindsay Whalen, to the steady leadership of Taj McWilliams-Franklin to the explosive post play of Rebekkah Brunson. And then there's the small matter of Minnesota's strong, disciplined defensive play, among the best in the league all season.
