Heading into Sunday afternoon’s game against the LA Sparks, the Lynx needed a win in the worst way. Unfortunately beating the Sparks at Staples Center has been a tough task for any WNBA team over the last few years. Minnesota was unable to get that much needed win and has now lost four games in a row.
The formula for Los Angeles mirrored that of their opening night win over the Lynx exactly two weeks ago: force turnovers and have the more dynamic offense. Minnesota turned the ball over 18 times resulting in 26 points for the Sparks.
