Minnesota Lynx
Seattle Storm
One of the WNBA matchups of the day takes place at Target Center, where Minnesota Lynx host Seattle Storm. The teams enter this game moving in completely opposite directions. Minnesota continue to strengthen their position at the top of the Western Conference, while Seattle remain stuck near the bottom after another disappointing defeat.
Match Preview
Minnesota Lynx come into this matchup riding a six-game winning streak and have lost just once in their last nine games. In their most recent outing, the Lynx defeated Golden State Valkyries 87-84 at home. Olivia Miles delivered one of her best performances of the season with 28 points and 7 assists, while Courtney Williams added 17 points and 7 rebounds.
Minnesota currently sit first in the Western Conference with an 8-2 record and continue to look like the most complete team in the league. The Lynx average 90.5 points per game, the second-best mark in the WNBA, while allowing only 79.4 points per contest. Their advanced numbers are equally impressive, as Minnesota lead the league in Defensive Rating (98.1) and rank second in Offensive Rating (111.2).
The Lynx are also one of the strongest rebounding teams in the league, averaging 37.9 rebounds per game, while their efficient offense ranks among the WNBA leaders in field-goal percentage (50.1%) and three-point percentage (38.1%).
Seattle Storm enter this game after a 72-68 home loss to Phoenix Mercury. The defeat extended their losing streak to four games and marked their seventh loss in the last nine outings. Awa Tiam led the Storm with 18 points and 6 rebounds, while Natisha Hiedeman contributed 15 points.
The Storm are currently last in the Western Conference with a 3-8 record. Their biggest issue remains offensive production. Seattle score only 75.6 points per game, one of the lowest totals in the league. Defensively, however, they remain competitive, allowing 81.3 points per contest and ranking third in the WNBA with a 102.4 Defensive Rating.
Despite their defensive strengths, Seattle have struggled badly away from home, winning only one of five road games this season. Against a team as efficient as Minnesota, generating enough offense may once again become a major challenge.
Recent head-to-head meetings have been relatively balanced, with both teams winning three of the last six matchups. However, Minnesota have won three of the last four home meetings against Seattle and enter this contest in significantly better form.
