Overview

  • Minnesota improved to 26-5 overall and extended its Target Center streak to 16-1 with the tight win.
  • Alanna Smith led the Lynx with 25 points and newly acquired DiJonai Carrington added 12 in her home debut.
  • Without MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier after an ankle sprain, Minnesota relied on balanced scoring through 11 lead changes.
  • Rookie Sonia Citron poured in a game-high 26 points but Washington fell to 13-17 as it fights for a playoff berth.
  • This week’s trades of Brittney Sykes and Aaliyah Edwards have forced the Mystics to lean on their young core for road success.
