The Lynx have so many positive streaks going, it is hard to keep them straight. Here is a list of six of the most noteworthy for assistance:

* Six wins (6-0) to start the season, a franchise record. ... The league record is nine.

* Eight consecutive regular-season road wins, going back to last season, a franchise record.

* Nine regular-season victories in a row, going back to last season, tying a franchise record set in 2011 from July 15 to August 7.

* Nine home victories in a row, six last year counting five playoff games and three in the regular-season this season. ... They are 22-3 at home since the start of the 2011 season, losing only to Indiana, Phoenix and New York in the regular-season.

* Twelves victories in a row, counting playoff games last season, an unofficial franchise mark.

* The Lynx are 33-4 since July 15 of last year. On that day they beat Indiana 80-70. ... They are on a pace to go, well, 34-0 since they haven't lost yet. The WNBA record for victories in a single season is 28. They were 27-7 last season.

The Lynx play San Antonio at 6 p.m. Sunday (FSN) at Target Center, hoping to keep those streaks going.

MOORE: SCORE SEIMONE

Seimone Augustus has led the Lynx in scoring in four of six games this season. She led the team in 17 of 34 regular-season games last season.

After the Lynx's last home victory, forward Maya Moore said that is fine with her: "I want Seimone to score as many points as she can every night. ... It is about every one contributing what they can.

"For me, I always know I can score points and should be scoring points. But some nights, I might be more of a facilitator. But as long as we aggressive, it doesn't matter who gets the points as long as we all are being aggressive."

ETC.

* There are two unbeaten teams in the WNBA left: the Lynx at 6-0 and Indiana at 4-0. They split two games last season, each winning on the road. They play back-to-back games in September, at Indiana on Sept. 14 and at Target Center on Sept. 17.

* There are also two winless team still left, Tulsa in the West and New York in the East are both 0-5.

* Ten of 12 WNBA teams play Sunday.
