Minnesota Lynx Clinch WNBA No.1 Seed with Record 31 Wins

News summary

The Minnesota Lynx secured the No. 1 overall seed in the 2025 WNBA playoffs after a commanding 94-70 victory over the Connecticut Sun, setting a new franchise record with 31 wins this season. Key contributors in the game included Napheesa Collier, who posted 17 points and nine rebounds, along with Alanna Smith and DiJonai Carrington each scoring 18 points, and strong performances from Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride. The Lynx dominated early, building a substantial lead by halftime and maintaining control throughout the game, aided by efficient three-point shooting and strong defensive plays. Having the best record in the league and homecourt advantage through the playoffs, Minnesota looks to rebound from last season's finals loss to the New York Liberty and pursue a fifth championship. Coach Cheryl Reeve emphasized the team's focus on steady improvement heading into the postseason, particularly in ball control after a recent loss to Seattle. The Lynx will face the Dallas Wings next, followed by crucial games against top contenders like the Las Vegas Aces, maintaining momentum as they close out the regular season.
