The Minnesota Lynx narrowly escaped with a 73-70 home victory to complete a 4-0 season sweep of the Los Angeles Sparks, behind historic performances from rookies Dorka Juhász and Diamond Miller, and an incredible clutch-time effort from All-Star forward Napheesa Collier.
After leading by as much as 20 points in the first half, the Lynx offense fell apart in the third quarter as part of a 30-6 Sparks run that continued well into the final frame and dug Minnesota into a seven-point hole, before the Lynx recovered and got it to the finish line.
