Sunday was a showcase of the two best teams in the WNBA. The Lynx and Fever showed how they have the best scorers in the league with Mitchell, Clark, and Miles.
Minnesota looks like the more complete team at the moment, though. They left the game with a WNBA-best 25-6 overall record and are on their first 10-game winning streak since 2016. The Lynx won’t be back in action until Thursday when they play the Los Angeles Sparks on the road.
As for Indiana, the five-game winning streak came to an end, but it was the sixth-straight game where they scored 100 or more points in a contest. The Fever are currently 19-11 and sitting in the fifth spot in the standings. They are also back in action on Thursday, but will be at home against the Las Vegas Aces.
The Lynx and Fever close out the season playing together twice in back-to-back games. Those two contests could determine playoff positioning and might be a preview of the WNBA Finals.
