Thanks Lockout Professionals!

The Minnesota Lynx swept the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA championship, providing some of the best basketball I've seen in Minnesota in a long, long time.

They took what the defense gave them, and usually ended up finding the best available shot -- and if the defense closed in -- find another open player for an easy layup. And they played great defense too, shutting down and outrebounding the opposition if things ever got too interesting.

NBA lockout or no, it was nice to see some true professional play on display at the Target Center.
