Following a two-game losing streak, Minnesota has responded with wins in each of its last two outings. This includes a 97-84 victory against the Indiana Fever on Aug. 24.

Minnesota overcame an early five-point deficit to take a 52-45 lead into the break. Then, Napheesa Collier opened the second half with five straight points, giving the Lynx a 57-45 advantage. The home team led by at least nine points the rest of the way.

Collier returned to the rotation after a seven-game absence to lead the team with 32 points and nine rebounds on 11-of-19 shooting from the field. Courtney Williams added 14 points and 10 assists.

Seattle Aiming For Its Fourth Win In Five Games

The Storm saw their three-game win streak end with a 95-75 loss to Indiana on Tuesday night.

Seattle trailed 50-39 at the break, and it didn’t get any better in the second half. Indiana opened the third quarter with a 14-4 burst to increase its lead to 64-43. Then, the Fever went up by 30 points (89-59) after scoring 15 of the first 18 points in the final frame.

Only two Storm players finished with double-digit scoring totals. Nneka Ogwumike scored a team-high 17 points, along with two rebounds and a steal. Brittney Sykes contributed 12 points, three rebounds, and three assists.
