Top Tweet Tuesday | August 11

Another Tuesday means another day to display the best tweets that Minnesota Lynx fans have to offer. It has been a tough week for the Lynx and their fans as they endured a tough road-trip in which they lost two-of-three before returning to the friendly confines of Target Center to knock off the hottest team in league.
So last Tuesday the Lynx were in Los Angeles taking on the Sparks and they…to put it gently, “lost badly,”83-61, then headed to Phoenix to take on the Mercury. This was a much closer game but still resulted with a 73-66 Lynx defeat; the losses stopped there. The Lynx then returned home on Sunday night and got their revenge against the Los Angeles Sparks, beating them 72-64 and ending their two-game losing streak as well as the Sparks’ four-game wining streak.
Lynx fans have been extremely passionate and very supportive of the team, even during their losing streak (which, let’s be honest, doesn’t happen often here) and most have taken to Twitter to show such support. Here are this week’s top tweets.
No surprise: Maya Moore named Western Conference player of the month.

Say to @LynxCoachReeve: "#Mercury is the only #WNBA team without a loss following the All-Star break." Let's break it! #LosLynx #RoarWithUs
