Indiana's Katie Douglas scored 15 points while Tamika Catchings and Tangela Smith scored 10 points each.

Note The Lynx made the best offseason moves and are the most improved team in the WNBA, according to a survey of general managers, which will be released Wednesday.

Maya Moore, whom the Lynx took with the No. 1 pick in the league's draft of college players in April, was named the new player who will have the biggest impact, the player most wanted to start a franchise, the rookie of the year and the newcomer who will be the best player in five years.
