Sylvia Fowles

You don’t win four Defensive Player of the Year awards without knowing how to control the game on D. Acutely aware of what’s unfolding around her, Minnesota Lynx center Sylvia Fowles cheats off her own check to jump up and turn aside a Candace Parker layup attempt, then collects the rock as the pair land back down on the ground. Fowles finished with 17 points, eight boards and two blocks in the second-round matchup against the Chicago Sky on September 26, 2021.
