Lindsay sure showed that she should be included in the ASG, sans the 3 TO's. Both players came out on fire (8-9 for Lindsay and 6-8 for Becky). But Becky distributed the ball more efficiently (8 to Lindsay's 5 ast) or maybe it's just because Becky's teammates converted those passes?

There's talk of disparity of the calls again by the officials. Hmmm. I'm sensing a pattern here.
