The Minnesota Lynx entered Climate Pledge Arena with a perfect 9-0 regular season record which included a 3-0 Commissioner’s Cup mark. Meanwhile, the Seattle Storm sat at just 5-4 on the season, but had a chance to usurp the Lynx atop the Western Conference Commissioner’s Cup standings with their 2-1 record. They had a packed house roaring from the tip to try as they looked to take Minnesota’s 0 away.
As such, they came out of the blocks on fire.
Storm Head Coach Noelle Quinn had her team pushing the ball in transition every opportunity possible.
