After a dominant bounce-back win against the Los Angeles Sparks, where Napheesa Collier dominated, the Minnesota Lynx take on the new-look Aces sans Kelsey Plum for the first time this season. This Tuesday evening matchup will be without A’ja Wilson in the final WNBA Commissioner’s matchup of the season. Win and stamp your ticket to a second WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship matchup in the last two seasons.
It was a tough offensive start for the Lynx as they were held scoreless for the first 3-plus minutes of the game. Minnesota was sputtering, so they put in Natisha Hiedeman to inject some pace into the offense and try to work themselves into a rhythm.
