Matchup Analysis

Rematch of the 88–84 Nail-Biter

These teams just saw each other on May 12, when Minnesota escaped with an 88–84 win behind a late Nia Coffey three and a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double from Natasha Howard, giving the Lynx their first victory of the season. Phoenix will have that finish fresh in mind, and you should expect early emphasis on defending Coffey as a trail shooter and keeping Howard off the offensive glass.
