The Start - Diamond Outduels BG
The Minnesota Lynx entered the night on a two-game win streak, including a dramatic buzzer-beating overtime victory in Seattle. For a team that has struggled to find consistency on the basketball court from game to game, it was difficult to predict how they would come out at Footprint Center. The Lynx visited the struggling Phoenix Mercury who had just fired their former head coach, Vanessa Nygaard, just one week ago and finally notched their first victory for interim coach, Nikki Blue, on Thursday versus the Dallas Wings.
