Lynx 85 - Silver Stars 67

After going down 10-2 to the San Antonio Silver Stars with 2:53 gone in the 1^st quarter, the Minnesota Lynx hit they’re next 6 shots to take a 14-12 lead over the next 5:05. This along with a 17-0 run to open the 2^nd quarter helped the Lynx to a franchise first – winning a playoff series!

With the 13 point lead midway through the 2^nd the Lynx could be more deliberate in their offensive sets. The Silver Stars never got closer than 6 points (early in the 3^rd) and the lead grew to double digits from start to finish in the 4^th getting as big as 22 points for an 85-67 final.

Seimone Augustus – 10 of 16 from the field including 2 of 2 three pointers. She went 3 of 3 during a 20-3 Lynx run in the 2^nd quarter and 4 of 4 in the first 5 minutes of the 2^nd half. Oh and did I mention her 8 rebounds.

Taj McWilliams-Franklin – 6-10 field goals and 4-6 free throws only 3 rebounds but countless tips/deflections resulting in forced outside shots and loose ball recoveries by the Lynx.

Rebekkah Brunson – 9 rebounds (3 of those leading to scores), 4-9 field goals and 7-8 free throws. Her 3 offensive rebounds matched the total for the Silver Stars.
