Myisha Hines-Allen · In their historic quest to become the WNBA’s first team to hang five championship banners through its rafters, the Minnesota Lynx are finding that it certainly doesn’t hurt to roster players who’ve raised them elsewhere before. Given the opportunity to create another memorable postseason sequence for her new team, Myisha HInes-Allen steps onto the scene, first through a pick-and-roll in attempt to free her former All-Star teammate. Unrelenting, even with the Connecticut Sun barricading any entry, Hines-Allen keeps battling through a post-up, ultimately prevailing in the battle of hyphenated names against Olivia Nelson-Ododa by hoisting a contested, momentum-building buzzer-beater over her 6-foot-5 frame. Hines-Allen’s score helped Minnesota settle into halftime’s locker room with a six-point edge, a boost that proved helpful in tying the series at one game apiece on October 1, 2024. A notably useful piece for the Lynx in a back-and-forth series marked by competitive chippiness, fearless trash talk, and physicality, Hines-Allen supplied contributions through an efficient seven-point, three-rebound, one-assist performance across 14 minutes of action. · State of Mint · State of Mint
