Late game heroics from Augustus, Fowles save Lynx in Dallas

Thanks to a stone cold, go-ahead mid-range jumper with five seconds left in the game by Seimone Augustus, and a missed free throw by Skyler Diggins-Smith, the Lynx are still unbeaten in 2017. But for the second time in three games, it wasn't easy and it wasn't pretty. Once again, the Minnesota Lynx faced some early season adversity.

The Dallas Wings were fired up for their home opener after a big win in Phoenix on Thursday night. With a new-look roster surrounding Diggins-Smith that includes five rookies, the Wings seem ready to move on from their 11-23 campaign last season that included an 11-game losing streak.
