Lynx Grab Series Lead

The Minnesota Lynx opened up postseason play with a 101-72 rout of the Golden State Valkyries in Game One of the First Round from the Target Center. The Lynx led by as many as 36 points in the victory. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve says back-up guard Natisha Hiedeman is a key for them.

Napheesa Collier poured in 20 points, while Natisha Hiedeman finished with 18 off the bench. Minnesota has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series. Game Two is at Golden State on Wednesday in San Jose.
