Minnesota Lynx Extend Undefeated Run to 5-0 with 82-77 Win over Seattle Storm

The Minnesota Lynx extended their undefeated season start to 5-0 with an 82-77 victory over the Seattle Storm, fueled by strong performances from Courtney Williams who scored 23 points, Alanna Smith with 16 points, and Napheesa Collier who contributed a double-double. Kayla McBride returned to the lineup after missing the first four games for personal reasons, adding 15 points and key late free throws that helped secure the win. Despite Seattle's efforts to close the gap, including a late run to cut the deficit to three points, the Lynx maintained their lead throughout the game. Minnesota jumped to an early 14-2 run and led by 15 points after the first quarter, while Seattle struggled with turnovers early but reduced mistakes as the game progressed. The Lynx's balanced offense and aggressive defense, including Collier's five steals and five assists, helped them hold off Seattle's comeback attempt. The win marked the Lynx's best start since 2017, showcasing their strong team chemistry and depth.
