The Minnesota Lynx, sitting atop the Western Conference and just a game back of 2nd place in the entire WNBA standings, are for real.
“The Lynx have been sneaky; they flew under the radar for many heading into this season, but there’s no denying their potential now,” wrote Jordan Robinson in WNBA.com’s most recent power rankings.
Liberty fans were early to this party after Minnesota dusted New York in late May, but after two recent games — a loss to the Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup Final and a bit of revenge a week later — it seems silly that Minnesota flew under anybody’s radar after the season began.
