Luckily for the Minnesota Lynx, their two biggest offensive threats, Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride, came to play. They combined for 45 points and had seven rebounds apiece as they lead the charge against Dallas in the eventual win, closing the gap in the standings down to one game between the two teams. This game was extra special for McBride as she hit her 500th career three pointer, furthering her stamp on the Lynx franchise and the WNBA as a whole.
