Lynx update: Players scattered all over the globe

More than 4,000 people have viewed a YouTube video of Maya Moore scoring 60 points for Shanxi Xing Rui against Yunnan in a recent game in China.

It is available here.

She was 19 of 43 from the floor. Forty-three shots? That's crazy. What are the other players doing? Her team won 93-88 in overtime.

Her team started the season 0-2 without her, but has won four in a row with her.

Wonder what the Lynx are thinking about the way Moore is being used? If she is the No. 1, 2 and 3 scoring option on her Chinese team, how tired will she be for the WNBA season?

On Tuesday, Moore had a ho-hum 30 points as Shanxi Xing Rui beat Liaoning 81-57. She also had 10 rebounds and five assists.

Here is what Moore did in her first three games in China:

2) 34 pts., 16 rebs., 1 assist, 4 steals ... team won by eight

3) 60 pts., 13 rebs., 2 assists, 5 steals, team won by three
