Minnesota LynxvsGolden State Valkyries
MIN 81/GS 75
Things to say
Minnesota beat Golden State 81-75 at Chase Center.
01
Lynx went into Chase and took care of business, 81-75. Valkyries hung around but couldn't get over the hump. Minnesota's 13-3 now, they're the real deal.
02
key player
Nia Coffey dropped 22 off the bench and was a problem all night - GS had no answer for her in the paint.
03
hot take
Golden State at 10-6 is already overachieving, but if Zandalasini's their leading scorer most nights they're gonna get exposed in the playoffs.
04
deep cut
Courtney Williams went for a 12-rebound, 5-assist near double-double from the guard spot - she was everywhere.
05
exit
Anyway, Lynx are rolling. Curious to see what they do next time out.
The recap
Lynx went into Chase Center and grinded out an 81-75 win to push to 13-3, because of course they did. Nia Coffey was the engine with 22 buckets, and Courtney Williams stuffed the stat sheet with a 12-rebound, 5-dime night that just ate Golden State up on the glass.
Zandalasini kept the Valkyries breathing with 23, but every time GS looked ready to flip it, Minny had an answer. Classic veteran road win, no panic, just took the W.
