WNBA: Liberty and Lynx Start Season Strong
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx continue their impressive form, remaining undefeated after their first seven games of the WNBA season. The Lynx are set to host the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday for a Commissioner’s Cup matchup, aiming to sustain their winning streak. Last season, Minnesota triumphed over New York in the in-season tournament but the Liberty ultimately claimed their first championship title in franchise history.
Both teams have achieved an outstanding 7-0 record, a feat last seen when the Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks began the 2016 season with identical success. New York has exhibited dominance on the court, averaging 91.9 points per game and winning by an average margin of nearly 23 points, highlighted by a staggering 48-point victory over the Connecticut Sun.
Meanwhile, Minnesota has excelled in nail-biting finishes, securing close wins, including a recent 11-point victory over Golden State. The power rankings see New York maintaining its No. 1 position with Minnesota in second place. The WNBA’s annual in-season Commissioner’s Cup is underway, offering significant cash prizes for the top teams.
Allisha Gray of Atlanta has earned Player of the Week honors, averaging 26.5 points, as the league heads into an exciting weekend of matchups.
