MINNEAPOLIS -- One team in Thursdays Game 5 of the WNBA Finals is trying to keep a dynasty alive. The other is trying to start one.The Minnesota Lynx are looking for their second straight WNBA crown and what would be their fourth title in the last six years. That would match an all-time record for most team titles in league history.The Los Angeles Sparks, meanwhile, are looking for their first championship since 2002, when they won the second of their back-to-back titles. The Sparks had run into the Lynx in the playoffs in recent years and havent played in a Finals since 2003.After trading wins through four games, everything hinges on Thursdays finale at Target Center.We each won on each others home court, and thats not easy to do, when you look at the home court that we have and our fans and you look at what exists here, Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve said after Game 4. ... Now its Game 5, which is what everybody was asking for, hoping for, and here we are.Two of the four games so far in the series have been very one-sided. The Lynx handily won Game 2 by a 19-point margin, while the Sparks dominated in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead after a 17-point victory.Los Angeles escaped Game 1 with a two-point win thanks to a buzzer beater by Alana Beard and some tough defense down the stretch. Minnesota forced a Game 5 with a win Sunday, fueled by a 31-point effort from Maya Moore.Moore, a former WNBA MVP, has averaged 22.3 points through these playoffs. As she has gone, so too have the Lynx.Obviously Maya Moore hit some big shots, made some big plays, both ends of the floor, Sparks coach Brian Agler said following Los Angeles loss in Game 4. Got a lot of respect for them. Theyre a championship team. Theyre well-coached.Rebounding was key for Minnesota in Game 4. The Lynx out-rebounded the Sparks 41-25, including 14 offensive boards. Minnesota was the third-best rebounding team in the league all season, while Los Angeles ranked third-to-last in that category. The Sparks will have to find a way in Game 5 to account for Sylvia Fowles, who alone had 13 boards -- six on offense -- for the Lynx.A bonus for both teams is that they should be plenty fresh for Thursdays showdown. Game 5 takes place four days after Sundays Game 4 in Los Angeles, giving each ample opportunity to rest and prepare.Both teams will have had a chance to get their legs back underneath them, Agler said. I think itll be competitive again on Thursday. Thats what I anticipate.The two Western Conference foes have gone back and forth all series, from quarter to quarter and game to game. So far, the series has lived up to the hype as the top two seeds in the playoffs have had the opportunity to go toe-to-toe.Now its a matter of which team can land the last punch.Obviously its been a great series, lots of ups and downs, and two great teams battling it out, said Lynx veteran guard Lindsay Whalen. There will definitely be a lot of energy for both sides on Thursday. Wholesale Fake NBA Jerseys .

Fake NBA Jerseys 2019 .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. William Leffen Hjelte kept to his self-imposed rules on Day 2 of The Big House 6 in Dearborn, Michigan, and withheld his signature Fox on Saturday. Instead, he rotated between Falco and Marth to make it into the final bracket on the winners side as the Melee singles field was trimmed from over 1,500 players to just 64.Things were shaky as he dropped a game against Vinodh Muthiahs Jigglypuff in the Round 2 pool, but Leffen wouldnt budge from his plan.I cannot play Fox right now for The Big House 6. Many people are expecting me to switch characters midway through finals day, but its a hard rule for me to not play Fox at this event, Leffen said. Im going to stick with most of the top tiers -- mainly Falco and Marth. Basically, whoever feels the most fun to play.Still, he couldnt be happier to visit the United States for the first time in nearly a year. As he passed through customs, he said he saw the same officer that detained him a year before, but said he felt relieved when he made it through security clearance. He says hes still adjusting to life in the Dearborn, Michigan, area.It was surreal to be in America and its so different from Sweden that I went into culture shock. It has been such a long time since I was in America. Things are smalller and modest back home, but the Big House hotel and the nearby mall were so big.dddddddddddd I came early and didnt see anyone I knew, but I felt comfortable as time went on. It feels good to be back, Leffen said.For nearly a year, things looked uncertain for Leffen as he waited for his visa to be approved. After delays in the visa process prevented him from traveling to Las Vegas to compete in Evolution last June, he was ready to give up.Its tough to always be on call and be uncertain on whether I can enter events. I stopped practicing and it was stressful. I would have rather known a firm date [for] when I could come back rather than be hopeful and then denied each time, Leffen said.With the lack of practice, Leffen knows he will need time to return to form. While Leffen says his mental game is still solid, he admits his execution was 5 out of 10 so far in Big House 6.Regardless of what happens on bracket day, Leffen says hes hopeful for Eclipse and Smash Summit 3 later in the fall. For fans who want to see Fox, Leffen smiled and said that he plans to return to that character for Smash Summit 3 in November. ' ' '
