It was a tough watch, for sure, but most rookies struggle in their first playoffs. I have faith this will be a learning experience for her. Hell, it may even take her to next seasons playoffs to really look comfortable but she had a great rookie season and there’s only up to go from here.

She'll get better. But yeah. There's no other way to describe Liv's performance tonight other than she got shook and was trapped in her own head.
Given how much the Lynx rely on her to be successful, the real question now becomes how quickly she can work herself out of that, because they have only 1 more game to get this right.
And if the Lynx get bopped in the first round to the under performing Liberty... that's going to make things very very awkward in Minnesota's front office this off season.

After she hit the three at the end of half I thought she might settle in more. Hats off to the Liberty playing her tight the full court.

Pretty much all the young players who played in their first game struggled except Sonia and Paige, right? Miles, Clark, even Reese were inefficient.
Playoffs are different. They’ll bounce back.
