Story summary
On Sunday, the Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 101-89 at Uncasville, Connecticut, bringing their season record to 32-10 and positioning them just one win or a Golden State loss away from clinching the top seed in the WNBA playoffs. Olivia Miles scored 21 points, breaking Caitlin Clark's rookie scoring record of 769 points set last year with Indiana, by making a free throw early in the second quarter to reach her 770th point this season. The Lynx started strong with an 11-2 lead within the first three minutes, largely due to Napheesa Collier's opening four points and continued scoring, leading them to a 27-12 advantage after the first quarter. Despite a late comeback attempt by the Sun, Minnesota maintained their lead thanks in part to Miles' consistent performance throughout the season.
