Minnesota celebrated the Lynx's WNBA championship Friday afternoon in Minneapolis.
People packed the parade route along Hennepin Avenue, four or five deep at some points, before a raucous rally inside the Target Center with dancing, thanking and reflecting, plus fireworks and confetti. Gov. Mark Dayton was there, as was Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges.
Maya Moore was especially appreciative in her brief speech of the crowd support, declaring the Fever "had no chance" in Game 5 because of the atmosphere in the partisan arena.
"Every time we looked like we were ready to do something right, y'all were ready to go," she said.
