It was a sloppy performance at both ends for the Lynx, who drop their fifth game of the season.
In what turned out to be something of a back and forth affair, the Connecticut Sun had the final run of the game, outscoring the Lynx 19-10 over the last eight minutes to take a hard-fought 84-80 win. The telling stretch, however, came in the 2nd quarter, when the Sun turned up their defense after a high scoring opening stanza, forced a spate of turnovers they were able to convert in transition, and built a double digit lead. The Lynx fought back to eventually lead by five early in the 4th, but did not have enough in the tank to see the game out.
