That was the last time the Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx. Since then, Minnesota had won seven straight games in a row leading up to this Tuesday evening contest. Both sitting at 0-2, something had to budge. The extremely young and inexperienced Fever team was facing a veteran Lynx team with all the motivation to right their ship. Jessica Shepard mentioned in the postgame presser that she could see a look in Sylvia Fowles’ eyes prior to the tip. Fowles certainly got hers, going off for a season-high 26 points (12/17 FG), 14 rebounds, three assists, four steals, and two blocks.
