Lynx use late spurt to get win

(Seattle, WA/Minnesota News Network) — The Minnesota Lynx rallied late to take down the Seattle Storm 91-87 at Climate Pledge Arena last night. The game was tied at 70 with about four-minutes left in regulation before Minnesota went on a 9-0 run to take control of the contest. Courtney Williams poured in 20 points in the victory, while newcomer DiJonai Carrington chipped in with 13 points off the bench in her Lynx debut. Minnesota was without star player Napheesa Collier, who will miss time with an ankle injury. The Lynx are in first place in the W-N-B-A at 25-5. They host the Mystics on Friday night.

Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride is the Western Conference Player of the Week. The first of the awards in her career, McBride averaged 24 points, 5 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in the two games played from July 28th through August 3rd. The Pennsylvania native ranks second in the W-N-B-A in three-point baskets and scored in double figures in seven of her last eight games.
