More from Lynx
Lynx at a glance: Minnesota, which lost 91-83 at Detroit on Friday, is playing its third back-to-back this season. The Lynx are 1-1 in the second game of the first two. Tonight is the first of four conseutive home games, and coach Jen Gillom said she is talking less about the importance of winning home games so her players can relax. The Lynx have lost three in a row at Target Center. Center Nicky Anosike is averaging a WNBA-high 3.11 steals, and her 7.3 rebounds rank fourth in the league.
Mercury at a glance: Phoenix (14-6) built a two-game lead in the Western Conference by going 8-2 in July. One of those losses was at home to the Lynx 99-86 on July 22, when Diana Taurasi was serving the second game of a suspension for drunken driving. The other loss was Thursday, when Atlanta routed the Mercury 106-76 after taking a 15-0 lead. Taurasi is averaging 20.7 points per game, Cappie Pondexter 19.6.
