Lynx season ends in stunning sweep at hands of Liberty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
History was made Tuesday by the Minnesota Lynx, but not the kind to be excited about. By falling 87-71 to New York in Game 2 of the best-of-three opening round series, the Lynx are the first top seed to lose in the opening round since the WNBA went to its current playoff format in 2022. Seeded eighth, the Liberty won 91-75 in Minneapolis on Sunday. Owners of the WNBA’s best regular season record at 33-11, Minnesota lost six of its final eight games to close its 2026 campaign. “We became a great
New York Liberty overwhelms Lynx, Minnesota falls in playoff opener (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The amount of parity in this year’s WNBA playoff bracket is like nothing the league has seen, with a solid case to be made for about every team to emerge holding the championship hardware. As the top seed, the Lynx earned homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, but they also drew a matchup against the eighth-seeded New York Liberty, a squad that has been their kryptonite. That continued Sunday in Game 1 of the best-of-three first-round series. The Liberty forward scored 34 points to go with
Lynx get some mojo back by pounding Fever, 86-66, in regular-season finale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a game that meant nothing on paper for the upcoming postseason, the struggling Minnesota Lynx nonetheless approached Thursday’s regular-season finale as if it were business as usual. Most important for a team that has been the WNBA’s benchmark for much of the regular season but lost two of its three games after the FIBA World Cup break — and four of five overall — it was a last chance to get their winning vibe back before the playoffs start. They did that with an aggressiveness at both ends
Missing Olivia Miles, Lynx starters sit for 2½ quarters in 19-point loss at Indiana (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lynx starting five didn’t get a ton of playing time on Tuesday in Indianapolis. Point guard Olivia Miles missed their game against the Indiana Fever because of injury. Napheesa Collier, Natahsa Howard, Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams were healthy, but got a lot of unwanted performance-based time off. Lynx reserves whittled a 29-point deficit to within seven points after three quarters, but Indiana pulled away for a 96-77 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. While the on-court performance left p
Valkyries handcuff Lynx offense in 80-66 victory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A low-scoring affair was expected when the two top defensive teams in the WNBA met Monday at Target Center. Golden State did its thing, holding the cold-shooting Lynx to a season low in points and ending Minnesota’s six-game winning streak with an 80-66 win. “We weren’t special in any way. Just one of those games that we really weren’t good at anything,” Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. “We weren’t terrible, but not good enough to beat a good team.” Scoring 25 points below its season average, Minne
