MIN 86/CON 80
Things to say
The Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 86-80 on the road at Mohegan Sun.
01
opener
Lynx went into Connecticut and took care of business. Never really felt close down the stretch. Minnesota's just on a different level right now at 16-6.
02
key player
Kayla McBride was the best player on the floor, dropped 23 and got buckets whenever they needed one. Ice in her veins.
03
hot take
Connecticut's 5-17 for a reason. They fight, but they just don't have the horses to hang with a real contender.
04
deep cut
Natasha Howard quietly grabbed 10 boards and Courtney Williams ran the show with 7 dimes. That's the stuff that wins on the road.
05
exit
Anyway, Lynx are rolling. Curious to see if anybody out West can actually slow them down.
The recap
Minnesota went into Mohegan Sun and handled business, walking out with an 86-80 win to push to 16-6. Kayla McBride carried the load with 23, getting buckets whenever the Lynx needed a bump, while Courtney Williams ran the show with 7 dimes and Natasha Howard cleaned the glass for 10 boards.
Connecticut got a scrappy 15 and 6 out of rookie Leila Lacan but just didn't have enough firepower to keep pace. Another night, another L for the Sun, who drop to 5-17.
