Lynx 77, Sun 70: Minnesota’s Suffocating Defense Shuts Down Connecticut to Knot Series

In a must-win game for the Minnesota Lynx, they looked to tie the series at 1-1 before heading on the road and into Friday’s game three. Teams trailing two games to none in the WNBA semi-finals are 0-18 when it comes to advancing to the next round.

Both teams came out sleepwalking in the first quarter as neither team scored for the first minute and a half of action. Minnesota didn’t score until a Courtney Williams layup with 6:22 on the clock, allowing the fans to finally take their seats per their home game ritual. The Lynx missed eight field goals before that bucket.
