On a hot summer night in downtown Minneapolis, the Minnesota Lynx put their top WNBA-leading record to the test against the Los Angeles Sparks.
The Lynx were without MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier because of a back injury she sustained against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday. The Sparks continue to play without their 2024 draft pick, Cameron Brink, who continues to recover from an ACL tear.
The Lynx got off to a great start without their superstar, scoring the first eight points of the game, including a 3-pointer and layup from Courtney Williams and a tough and-1 bucket by Kayla McBride.
