Lynx Tie Series Against Sun 1-1

The Minnesota Lynx managed to tie their WNBA semifinal series 1-1 against the Connecticut Sun with a 77-70 victory, despite an off night for star player Napheesa Collier, who was held to nine points. Key contributions came from Courtney Williams with 17 points and Alanna Smith with 15 points. Alyssa Thomas led Connecticut with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, but the Sun struggled with shooting, hitting only 5 of 20 from 3-point range. The Lynx's strong defense forced 12 turnovers and limited the Sun to 36.4% shooting. The series now moves to Connecticut for Games 3 and 4, with Game 5, if necessary, scheduled back in Minnesota.
