Read More on Sports

Minnesota has won three in a row, including a 91-68 rout of the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night. The Lynx trailed by six after the first quarter before turning up the defense, holding the Sky to just 44 points in the last three quarters. All five Minnesota starters scored in double figures, with Collier and Kayla McBride tying for the team lead with 19 points. Bridget Carleton added 11 points and three steals, and reserve Diamond Miller scored eight off the bench on a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul stripe.

The Aces had their three-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Indiana Fever a night previous, dropping the 80-70 decision despite leading by six at halftime. Wilson had a solid game, scoring 20 points to go with six rebounds and three steals, and fellow starter Jackie Young tallied 19 points on 8-for-14 from the field. As a team, the Aces shot just 2-for-15 (13.3%) from the 3-point line.

Minnesota defeated Las Vegas 76-62 in a Commissioner's Cup game in June, and will face each other two more times this season.
