Lynx gameday

Last update: September 4, 2009 - 11:35 PM

Lynx at a glance: Minnesota (12-18) has four regular-season games left. Two are at home, tonight and Wednesday vs. Detroit. San Antonio's magic number to clinch the final West playoff spot is three; any combination of three Lynx losses or Silver Stars victories ends Minnesota's playoff hopes. ... Guard Roneeka Hodges is fifth in the WNBA in three-pointers with 62. ... Center Nicky Anosike is first in free throw attempts with 194; she made 12 of 14 shots from the foul line in the team's 84-82 double overtime loss Tuesday to San Antonio.

Storm at a glance: Seattle (19-12) lost 78-67 to Washington on Thursday. So much for the Storm's six-game winning streak. Center Lauren Jackson has missed the past four games; the two-time MVP is out indefinitely because of a stress fracture in her back. ... Seattle has won seven games in a row against the Lynx, including three this season and 13 of the past 15. ... Guard Sue Bird averages 12.8 points and a league-high 5.8 assists. ... Forward Swin Cash averages 12 points and 6.7 rebounds.
