Lynx Hang on to Win in Overtime over Wings, 98-97

The Lynx had six players in double-digit scoring as they won in a team effort. Sylvia Fowles had 14 points, 19 rebounds and four blocks as she put on a dominating performance.

The bench was tense. The Dallas Wings had hit back-to-back threes in overtime to take a 97-94 lead with 1:21 to go. After the Lynx let a 15-point lead slip away in regulation, they were facing another collapse against a team they should have put away long ago.

The team didn't quit. They had four offensive rebounds on the following possession before Lindsay Whalen nailed two free throws.
