Minnesota made hay in the soft part of their schedule, picking up a pair of wins over both the Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury, and another over the Fever — the three worst teams in the WNBA championship odds
That momentum came to a crashing halt when they were crushed 113-89 by the league-leading Las Vegas Aces — the third straight meeting they’ve lost by 20+ points to them.
Napheesa Collier was one of six Lynx players to score in double-digits, finishing with a team-high 18 points and five rebounds. Diamond Miller had 15 points, four rebounds and three assists.
Defensively, they let the opposition shoot 59.7% from the field, including a 17-for-39 mark from distance (43.6%).
It’s been like that much of the year, as Minny surrenders the 5th-most points (84.4), allowing teams to shoot 45% from the field (10th) and second-to-last in three-point shooting defense, with teams averaging a 36.3% clip.
