Not everything went right for the Lynx up in Minnesota as Taj McWilliams-Franklin (right) came up lame in Game 2 after a typically inspirational dive for a loose ball resulted in a nasty tangle with a teammate and Atlanta's gritty Angel McCoughtry (left).

The importance of "Mama Taj" to the Lynx shouldn't be discounted and while Minnesota managed to come back and win Game 2 without McWilliams-Franklin's veteran presence, an extended period on the bench could alter the series.
