The Lynx traveled to the West Coast for a late night tip against the Phoenix Mercury as they chased their 7th straight win. Phoenix is just one game over .500 but do not lack in star talent with Kahleah Copper, Diana Taurasi and Britney Griner running the squad. As Connecticut lost to Indiana today, the Lynx went into this one with a chance to retake the 2nd place spot and move within three games of the New York Liberty for the top seed. This is the first of a short two-game road trip for the Lynx as they travel south to Phoenix and then Dallas.
