WELL-PREPARED
For the seventh time this season, the Lynx played a game Friday night after five days off. (Last year, they had only two such games, in part because of the Olympics.) Typically, they have done quite well when they have so much time to prepare:

June 23 vs. Washington Five W 93-76
July 6 vs. Los Angeles Five W 88-77
