Still an unbeaten leader this season in WNBA, the Minnesota Lynx continued his flawlessness by overcoming Dallas Wingsnot without having to fight. On the other side, even if they occupy the last place in the ranking and are always deprived of Paige Bueckers (Concrete protocol), Texanes sold their skin dearly, resistant for three quarters before cracking.
Until then, they are Arike Ogunbowale (26 points, 6/11 to 3-point) and Maddy Siegrist (15 points, 11 rebounds) which had held the barrack face Napheesa Collier And Kayla McBride (respectively 28 and 21 points). 10 minutes from the end, Dallas had thus returned to a small point (57-56), which was already a small feat in view of the current context in the ranks of the wings. Then, in perfect leader, Napheesa Collier sounded the end of the recess.
The interior of the lynx, the best scorer of the league, started the last act with a 3-point then two new baskets to feed a 14-3 which left Dallas on the tile (71-59). In the process, the 3-point stroke of Bridget Carleton and Natisha Hiedeman folded the case in favor of Minnesota, winner 81-65.
Minnesota already at nine victories in nine games
The good news for Dallas is that Paige Bueckers is no longer in a concussion protocol and that his absence was just linked to a disease. His return is imminent, and he will not be too much, while the Wings, who are on five setbacks, will soon have to compose without Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsöder, selected by Turkey and Germany for the Euro, and that two trips are now on the program, in Phoenix and Las Vegas.
On the other hand, everything is rolling for Minnesota, who is now nine victories and will try to get closer to the ultimate record, already sealed by the lynx.
It was in 2016 with 13 a successful victories to start the season. To equal it, you will have to go to the parquet floor of the Seattle of Gabby Williams and Dominique Malonga, then beat Los Angeles twice and also Las Vegas.
