opener
Mystics went into Minnesota and took one, 84-79. Lynx are the team everybody's been hyping at 13-4, and Washington just walked in and ate them up. Nobody saw that coming.
02
key player
Sonia Citron was the best player on the floor, 21 and just buckets all night. She does not look like a rookie.

deep cut
Georgia Amoore quietly ran the whole thing, 7 dimes, kept Washington organized down the stretch. Olivia Miles dropped 22 for Minnesota and it didn't even matter.
05
exit
Anyway, Lynx better figure it out quick, this is the kind of L that follows you in the standings.

Olivia Miles did everything she could for Minnesota, dropping 22 and dishing 6, but it wasn't enough to save the night. The Lynx couldn't buy a bucket down the stretch and took a surprising L at home.
