Minnesota Lynx Extend WNBA Season-Opening Win Streak to 9 Games

The Minnesota Lynx extended their undefeated start to the WNBA season with an 81-65 victory over the Dallas Wings, improving to 9-0, the fourth-best start in league history. Napheesa Collier led the Lynx with 28 points and 10 rebounds, while Kayla McBride contributed 21 points, including six three-pointers. Despite a strong effort from Dallas' Arike Ogunbowale, who scored 26 points with six three-pointers, the Wings, missing rookie Paige Bueckers due to illness, fell short. The Lynx showcased a balanced game with 25 assists, 12 steals, and just six turnovers, maintaining control after a tight third quarter where Dallas trimmed the lead to one point. Collier's key scoring in the fourth quarter helped Minnesota pull away definitively. The Lynx will next face the Seattle Storm, while Dallas travels to Phoenix.
