With less than a week remaining in the season, the Minnesota Lynx took on the Chicago Sky. With a win, the Lynx would clinch the top spot in the Western Conference and keep pace ahead of the Connecticut Sun for the number two seed for the WNBA playoffs.
The Sky were without their Rookie of the Year candidate Angel Reese who suffered a fractured wrist and will miss the remainder of the season.
The Lynx would get off to a slow start in the first quarter, making only seven of their twenty first-quarter shots including only a single made three-pointers on eight attempts.
