LYNX BY THE NUMBERS IN 2009
The good
• Held Seattle to a franchise- low five points in the first quarter of a Sept. 5 game
• Scored a WNBA-record 64 points in the first half against Sacramento on Aug. 28 and tied another league record with 16 three-pointers
• Had a 5-3 road record in the first half of the season
The bad
• Opponents shot a league-best 46.1 percent from the field
• Lynx were 3-14 when scoring fewer than 80 points
The inexplicable
• At least once, the Lynx beat all 12 other WNBA teams -- and lost to them.
