The Minnesota Lynx were back in action on Thursday night, as they held Pride Night at Target Center and hosted the Connecticut Sun in the Sun’s first game without All-Star center, who likely tore her achilles in the team’s loss to the Seattle Storm earlier this week.
Coming off a long road trip and eager to be back in front of the home crowd on one of the best nights of the year inside the arena, the Lynx wanted to come out and perform for an energized crowd. Unfortunately, the Sun controlled the game after grabbing a lead early in the first quarter, and kept their collective foot on the gas pedal for the entire game en route to an 89-68 road victory.
