Both teams entered the tonight’s contest on different ends of the spectrum. With a nearly week-long break courtesy of the Commissioner’s Cup finals, the Seattle Storm were riding a two-game win streak despite still being at the bottom of the standings. On the other end, the Minnesota Lynx got to stew about their loss to the Indiana Fever as they jockey for playoff seeding. How would it play out as they met on the court?
A back-and-forth start featured outstanding play by Ezi Magbegor, who scored 10 of her 13 points in the first period.
