The road to the WNBA Finals goes through Minnesota.
Napheesa Collier and the Lynx defeated the Connecticut Sun, 94-70, on Saturday, Aug. 30. The victory was the Lynx’s 31st of the season, a new franchise record, and secured the best record (31-8) in the league this season.
As a result, Minnesota will be the top overall seed in the playoffs.
The Lynx are looking to bounce back after reaching the 2024 WNBA finals, but falling short against the New York Liberty in a five-game series.
Collier nearly produced a double-double on Saturday with 17 points and nine rebounds in 27 minutes of play against the Sun.
Courtney Williams had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Lynx, while Kayla McBride added 15 points and six assists.
When do the Minnesota Lynx play next?
The Lynx will play the Dallas Wings on Monday, Sept. 1, before playing the next three games on the road against the Las Vegas Aces (Sept. 4), the Golden State Valkyries (Sept. 6) and the Indiana Fever (Sept. 9). Minnesota will close out the regular season against the Valkyries on Sept. 11.
