The Minnesota Lynx looked to right the ship after dropping two in a row for the first time this season against the Washington Mystics. In a great holiday matchup, Minnesota ran out of gas against the Sun after Napheesa Collier came up limping with a foot injury on a non-contact injury. Collier missed the Saturday night matchup against Washington and the Lynx had to figure out how to come away with a win without her.
The Lynx and Kayla McBride set the tone early with a 9-2 lead before a Mystics timeout. K-Mac started the game with seven of Minnesota’s first nine points in the game.
