The Minnesota Lynx bounced back in the WNBA semifinals after losing Game 1 to the Connecticut Sun. Minnesota has won two games in a row and now leads the series 2-1. Napheesa Collier led the way, scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds in the Lynx's 90-81 win in Game 3. Collier, the 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, has also made an impact on the Lynx's defense, to say the least. Collier's play has caught the attention of NBA stars, including LeBron James.

“FACTS!!! She is an ANIMAL! The game is so damn smooth and complete! HARD,” James wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.

LeBron responded to a tweet from Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton on Friday night.

“Napheesa was murderous!!” Haliburton wrote.

Collier also gained serious MVP attention during the regular season, finishing second in the voting. She is without question one of the best players in the WNBA. Their ability to influence the game in a variety of ways makes them particularly dangerous for opponents.

Collier and the Lynx have a realistic chance of securing a WNBA Finals appearance. Of course, they need to continue to perform at a high level as the Suns have a talented team.

Collier, 28, is a four-time WNBA All-Star. She won the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2019. Collier finished in the top five of MVP voting three times. She could win the prize at some point.

Still, Collier has accomplished many impressive feats in her WNBA career. However, the ultimate goal is to win a championship. Achieving this feat with the Lynx, a team she has spent her entire career with, would undoubtedly be special.

Collier has had incredible performances in five postseason games this year. The Lynx superstar is currently averaging 26.8 points per outing on 52.3 percent field goal and 40 percent three-point shooting. She also averages 8.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Napheesa Collier's postseason performance was pretty impressive, but she still has a lot of work to do. The Lynx play the Sun on the road in Game 4 on Sunday night at 5:00 pm EST. Minnesota hopes to secure its spot in the 2024 WNBA Finals. However, the sun won't go down without a fight. Game 4 is set to be another contest between these teams.
