The undefeated Minnesota Lynx face what might be their toughest test of the young season, when they travel to Seattle to take on Jewell Loyd and the Storm on Saturday.
The Lynx (6-0) are the WNBA’s only remaining unbeaten squad. They have feasted on weaker competition, though. Their last three opponents were winless.
The Storm (4-1) are tied with the Atlanta Dream for the second-best record in the league and are off to their best start since 2010. Loyd is second in the WNBA in scoring, averaging 21.4 points per game.
“One of the things that’s special about this team is we have a lot of weapons and a lot of people who are willing to play as a team,” Seattle coach Jenny Boucek told the Seattle Times.
