Greetings. There wasn't any access to the Lynx today, so I don't have any new quotes for you.

That said, there is always more to be said about Maya Moore. Including the fact that, Friday, Moore was named to the WNBA's All-Defensive second team. It is the first time Moore has been named to an all-defensive team, and the fifth time for Lynx player overall. Rebekkah Brunson made it for three years starting in 2011 and Nicky Anosike was named in 2009.

The first team consisted of Brittney Griner, Phoenix; Angel McCoughtry, Atlanta; Sancho Lyttle, Atlanta; Briann January, Indiana; and Tanisha Wright, Seattle.

Joining Moore on the second team was Alana Beard, Los Angeles; Tamika Catchings, Indiana; Sylvia Fowles, Chicago; and Danielle Robinson, San Antonio.

OK, moving on. I thought you'd enjoy this collection of Moore's stellar plays from Thursday's victory over San Antonio at Target Center. Enjoy.
