MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Lynx have a core group of players participating in their fifth WNBA Finals in the last six seasons. The Los Angeles Sparks only have one player who has made it this far before, and she is a seldom-used reserve.When it came to poise, consistency and playmaking in Game 1, however, the Sparks looked like the battle-tested group. And now the Lynx are left to lean on their experience to dig out of another hole.The defending champion Lynx turned the ball over 16 times and looked lost defensively against the Sparks pick-and-roll in the 78-76 loss on Sunday and got back to work on Monday knowing that if they dont clean things up, their pursuit of a record-tying fourth title will swirl down the drain.If you dont handle a pick-and-roll any better than what we did, we looked like a high school team that was going against it for the first time, coach Cheryl Reeve said on Monday. That was disappointing. And throwing it right to them.The Lynx committed 11 of their 16 turnovers in the first half and had two more in the final three minutes of the game, and the Sparks took advantage. They scored 18 points off of Minnesotas turnovers while only allowing four points off of their own 12 miscues. It was a clean, calm performance for a group that includes 12th-year pro Alana Beard and ninth-year star Candace Parker, both of whom have finally made it to the leagues biggest stage.I was happy with how poised and focused we were, Sparks coach Brian Agler said. We only have one player that has even been in this situation before. But we do have veteran players. They look at this as this is their moment to get this opportunity. ... Candace and Alana, they have played long careers and they dont get this (every year). So they know how to cherish this moment.Game 2 of the best-of-five series is Tuesday night in Minneapolis, and the Lynx dont have to look back far to find inspiration and comfort in a precarious position. They lost Game 1 at home to the Indiana Fever in last years finals, but ultimately prevailed in five games for their third championship.So there is no panic, but there is also a realization that their opponent this season with Parker and Beard and MVP Nneka Ogwumike and sharpshooter Kristi Toliver presents a far bigger obstacle.You have to really rely on each other in moments like this, said Lynx forward Maya Moore, who was scoreless in the first half but scored 18 in the second. This team has really been doing that all season with our ability to make adjustments and bounce back. This is the greatest challenge of the season for us, having to bounce back in a tough loss at home. Im confident that we will be better as each game goes on.Just like during a tense regular season series, the matchup between the teams with the two best records in the league was tight all the way through Game 1. No team led by more than five points and Beard hit the game-winner on a shot from the corner just before the final buzzer sounded. The big finish and the anticipated matchup delivered ratings that were 25 percent higher than last years broadcast of Game 1. The 0.5 overnight rating on ABC was the highest for a Game 1 since 2010, though it likely was smaller thanks to competing against the NFL on Sunday afternoon.I think were really good at handling high-pressure situations, Ogwumike said. I think youre going to see that more from us in this series and as well from them. The game was remarkably close. Thats what the finals is all about. You have the two best teams duking it out and it literally came down to the last play. We just have to understand we need to give ourselves as much of an advantage as we can.Reeve said she was awake until 3 a.m. trying to figure out what caused the sloppiness.The stuff that we were doing that was controllable on our end was the headscratchers, Reeve said. Were going to watch the video and theyre going to see it. Whether they want to or not doesnt matter. We will watch every possession.Brian Roberts Jersey Large .

The pride of Weyburn, Sask.BOSTON -- A new documentary about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings chronicles the long road to recovery for many of the survivors still struggling with physical and emotional wounds.Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing focuses on the stories of three families -- a young newlywed couple, a mother and daughter, and two brothers -- who had all been spectators near the finish line when two pressure cooker bombs detonated.The nearly two-hour film, which had its Boston premiere last week, airs on Monday on HBO.Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg say they set out to give an unflinching look at the ups and downs of long-term recovery from the attack, which killed three people and injured almost 300 others.We felt a huge responsibility to tell a broad picture of the survivors story, Stern said. Many of the survivors feel this global relationship with other survivors of terrorist attacks. That if theres some way their recovery can help others going through something similar, they want to do it.Patrick Downes, one of the survivors spotlighted in the documentary, said it wasnt always easy having the filmmakers along for the journey.You have to be incredibly vulnerable during the worst moments of your life and share with people all the struggles involved, Downes said. We thought this was an important story to tell, and we accepted that responsibility in the hopes that it represented not only our experience but the experience of a lot of other people.The 33-year-old Cambridge native and his wife, Jessica Kensky, each lost part of a leg in the blast, but their recovery over the next three years couldnt bee more different.ddddddddddddDownes was able to walk again using a prosthetic leg and eventually ran the 2016 Boston Marathon.Its a bittersweet moment that closes the film because while Downes seems to triumph over his injuries, Kensky continues to battle through multiple surgeries and setbacks.The film also shows how post-traumatic stress still haunts those who werent seriously injured or even there on marathon day.Bombing survivor Kevin Corcoran suffered superficial physical injuries, but he is consumed with guilt because he had urged his family to move closer to the front of the crowds. His wife ended up losing both of her legs, and his daughter suffered serious leg injuries in the blast.Another mother, Liz Norden, wasnt at the race, but her two adult sons were spectators. They both lost legs in the blast.Two years after the attack, in 2015, Norden is shown having a harder time moving on than her sons, attending nearly every day of the death penalty trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the youngest of two brothers who perpetrated the attack.Each one of them has experienced the impact in different ways. Everyone plays out the what-ifs, Stern said. I didnt realize that, three years out, this, in many ways, is the hardest thing to get at -- the mental pain.In December, Patriots Day, a dramatic retelling of the bombings and ensuing search for the?Tsarnaevs, will open in theaters. The movie is set for a nationwide release Jan. 13.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
