Lynx Dominate the Mercury for Second Series Win
In an impressive display, the Minnesota Lynx secured their second series win over the Phoenix Mercury with an 88-65 victory on Tuesday night, marking an exceptional start to their season with an 8-0 record—an achievement matched only by the rest of the WNBA teams combined. Veteran forward Napheesa Collier led the charge with 18 points and 11 rebounds, alongside teammate Natisha Hiedeman, who also contributed 18 points.
After trailing early in the game, the Lynx turned the tide by outscoring the Mercury 49-23, establishing a significant 63-46 lead by the third quarter’s close. The team showcased their perimeter shooting prowess, sinking 12 three-pointers, with Bridget Carleton and Kayla McBride playing pivotal roles. McBride not only added 13 points but also led with seven assists, contributing to a season-high 29 assists overall.
On the opposing side, Lexi Held scored 16 points for Phoenix, while Satou Sabally added 15 points and eight rebounds. The Lynx previously edged the Mercury 74-71 last Friday, even without Collier due to a knee injury. Their current momentum suggests a promising season ahead for the Lynx.
