Six players score in double figures as Lynx go to 13-1
Posted by: Roman Augustoviz under Lynx Updated: June 27, 2012 - 9:18 PM
The Lynx can't seem to lose at home.
They won their 14th game in a row at home, including last season's playoffs, by beating Phoenix 96-80 on Wednesday at Target Center.
Four starters and two reserves scored in double figures for the Lynx: Rebekkah Brunson and Seimone Augustus each had 16 points, Maya Moore 15, Taj McWilliams-Franklin and Monica Wright 13 apiece and Amber Harris 10.
Brunson and McWilliams-Franklin also had over 10 rebounds for double doubles. Brunson had 13 boards, McWilliams-Franklin 11.
The victory gives the Lynx a 13-1 record this season. They are 8-0 at home. Announced attendance was 9,674 -- the third turnout of over 9,000 in a row.
Phoenix (3-8) was led by DeWanna Bonner with 23 points and Samantha Prahalis with 20. The Mercury stayed close until an 18-2 Lynx run, which spanned the second and third quarters, gave the Lynx a 62-47 lead.
SKY KEEPS FALLING
Ever since guard Epiphanny Prince fractured her right foot, Chicago has not been the same. The Sky lost that game to Indiana, then fell to the Lynx on Saturday at Target Center and on Wednesday lost again to the Fever 81-72 at home.
So after a 7-1 start, Chicago is now 7-4.
Shavonte Zellous made seven of eight shots and scored a season-high 18 points to lead Indiana against the Sky. Tamika Catchings was only three of 15 for 17 points but has nine assists for Indiana (8-5).
Sylvia Fowles, the Sky's 6-6 center, has 19 points and 10 rebounds.
