Minnesota Lynx forward Maya Moore has been named Western Conference Player of the Week for the third time this season.
Minnesota's window for another WNBA championship is still open. That's why they worked so hard to acquire Sylvia Fowles. That's why she wanted to play for the Lynx.

As the Minnesota Lynx get ready to start another season, it's hard to miss the Janel McCarville-sized hole in their starting lineup. "It was not ideal," Lynx Coach Cheryl Reeve said. "To have a player make a decision like that at the 11th hour, when all the transactions and the draft and everything were over, you know, it's not what we hoped for. At the same time, you don't sit around and cry about it. You got to put action."

The Phoenix Mercury did something in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals that no other WNBA team has been able to do all season long. They stopped Maya Moore.
