‘She Took a Lot on,’ ‘Those Lessons Are the Hardest Ones’– Lynx HC Cheryl Reeve Defends ROTY Olivia Miles After ‘Painful’ Playoff Exit

Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve defended Rookie of the Year guard Olivia Miles following a disappointing first-round playoff sweep by the New York Liberty. Miles endured a difficult postseason after setting league records with 790 total points and 22 games with at least 20 points during her historic freshman campaign.

The Liberty stifled the rookie star with relentless perimeter pressure and defensive length, limiting her to modest production across the two losses. Reeve emphasized that the grueling playoff exit provided invaluable lessons for the young guard while taking personal responsibility for failing to put her players into better positions.
