Lynx at a glance: Minnesota (8-4) has struggled on a three-game homestand at the start of July, losing 74-68 to Sacramento and barely beating Washington 96-94 in overtime. Maybe playing San Antonio will help. The Silver Stars are 2-16 all time at Target Center. Nicky Anosike, Charde Houston and Renee Montgomery all had one or two big quarters against the Mystics on Tuesday. Now if only two or three players can get hot at the same time.
