The Lynx returned to play after an emotionally charged week headlined by the temporary postponement of their season. The win over Atlanta was payback for the dispiriting loss the Dream served Minnesota on Sunday. In that game the Lynx were out-rebounded and out-hustled in the second half and Minnesota lost despite being up 13 points. The rematch featured a similar first half with the Lynx seizing control early on. The difference Friday night was the lack of a second half letdown. Napheesa Collier was wonderful Friday night with 19 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks.
