After an impressive 2024 WNBA season where the Minnesota Lynx stormed onto the scene and returned to the WNBA Finals, the retooled Lynx have picked up right where they left off with a historic start to the 2025 season.
Through nearly 20 games in the regular season, Minnesota has been the best team in the WNBA, not only record-wise but in nearly every statistical category. Entering their game against Phoenix on July 9, the Lynx hold a 4.5-game lead on first place in the standings with a 17-2 record. Along with that, they have WNBA-leading offensive and defensive ratings while setting a franchise record with an 11-0 start when playing at home at Target Center.
