NEW YORK – Tina Charles of the New York Liberty and Maya Moore of the Minnesota Lynx were named the WNBA’s Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played May 30 through June 5.

While Cavs coach Tyronn Lue must weigh the benefit of bringing Love back into the mix and potentially destroying the matchup advantage the Cavs enjoyed without him in their 120-90 win, Kerr and the Warriors must resolve Curry. He was missing in the figurative sense in Game 3, and really for the entire series so far. Taking it a step further, in nine Finals games dating back to last summer, Curry has yet to unleash a volcanic effort, the kind that repeatedly defined his historic season and elevated the Warriors into superteam territory. He knows and they know.

Once again we're seeing things from Curry that stir the imagination, the difference being, these aren't shots from halfcourt. These are psychological stumbles and amazingly tame performances. In the second quarter, after a sloppy foul, Curry was yanked and had to answer to Kerr on the bench. Imagine that: During a championship game, a player of Curry's level required a lecture -- nothing angry, but still -- and a wakeup call from the coach. That rarely happens this time of year to franchise players, and almost never to Curry any time of year.

Charles earned the Player of the Week honor for the [http://www.blackplanet.com/your_page/blog/view_posting.html?pid=5375791&profile_id=68269458&profile_name=blackhumor0&user_id=68269458&username=blackhumor0 Adam Silver’s statement regarding the passing of Muhammad Ali] second time this season and the 16th time in her seven-year career. The 2012 WNBA Most Valuable Player and four-time All-Star helped New York win two of its three games during the week, as the Liberty improved to 4-3 on the season.  Through seven games Charles is leading the WNBA in scoring (21.4 ppg) and rebounding (11.6 rpg).

"I would've done the same thing," said Curry. "He's trying to figure some life and a way to get me going."

It was that type of game, and really that kind of series so far for Curry. He sleepwalked through much of the first half, didn't score his first basket until four minutes before the break, suffered whiplash on backdoor cuts by Kyrie Irving and lost control of the ball three times in the game's first five minutes. With Curry trapped in the kind of fog that swallows the Bay Area during morning rush, the Cavs seized advantage and raced to a sizable lead they would keep until the buzzer.
−
The former University of Connecticut standout ranked second for the week among Eastern Conference players in scoring (18.7 ppg), shared the lead in rebounding (11 rpg, along with the Atlanta Dream’s Sancho Lyttle) and was eighth in assists (3.3 apg).
+
His matchup with Irving would seemingly give him the upper hand, mainly because of Irving's reputation as a weak defender. Instead, Irving ripped through Curry for 16 points in the first quarter while Curry replied with astonishing passivity and only five first-half shots. He looked, dare we say, timid? It was an odd performance by Curry on both ends which cost the Warriors, who take their cue from him, precious energy if not the game.

+
"I had a couple of lapses where I didn't follow the gameplan, and Kyrie gets an easy layup, gets his confidence going," he said.

Charles tipped off her week with 23 points and 11 rebounds in a 79-69 loss to the undefeated Lynx on May 31.  Two days later she logged a 14-point, nine-rebound, six-assist effort in New York’s 91-59 home win over the Indiana Fever. Charles capped her week with 19 points, 13 boards and three assists in an 86-78 road win over the Seattle Storm on June 5.

Moore, who played with Charles at the University of Connecticut, was also honored as Player of the Week for the second time this season and 16th time in her six-year career.
+

+
−
Moore, the 2013 WNBA Finals MVP and 2014 regular-season MVP, ranks behind only Charles among WNBA scorers this season (21 ppg) and is third in the league in assists (5.4 apg), while helping Minnesota to a 7-0 start.

−
During the week, Moore ranked second among Western Conference players in scoring (19 ppg), tied for fifth in assists (4.5 apg) and tied for seventh in field goal percentage (.485, 16-of-33) as Minnesota won both of its games.
+
−
 
+
−
Behind her 25-point, six-rebound, three-assist effort, Minnesota opened its week with a 79-69 win over the New York Liberty at Madison Square Garden on May 31. Moore then contributed 13 points, six assists, four boards and two steals in an 80-63 win over the visiting Dallas Wings on June 4.

Other candidates for the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week were the Atlanta Dream’s Angel McCoughtry, the Chicago Sky’s Elena Delle Donne, Dallas’ Aerial Powers, Indiana’s Tiffany Mitchell, the Los Angeles Sparks’ Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker, the San Antonio Stars’ Kayla McBride and Seattle’s Breanna Stewart.
