The Minnesota Lynx earned a narrow 87-84 win over the Golden State Valkyries, closing out a competitive WNBA matchup decided by one possession. Minnesota’s ability to generate timely offense and control the glass helped offset Golden State’s efficient stretches and strong ball movement. The Valkyries stayed within striking distance throughout, but the Lynx made enough plays late to secure the three-point victory. O. Miles led Minnesota with a standout 28-point performance, providing the Lynx with the primary scoring punch in a tight game. Kayla McBride added 14 points, while Natasha Howard contributed 12 points to give Minnesota multiple reliable options. The Lynx also benefited from a major rebounding edge, finishing with 43 rebounds compared with Golden State’s 31. Golden State moved the ball well, recording 21 assists, and shot 41 percent from the field according to the provided team statistics. The Valkyries also connected on 14 three-pointers, one more than Minnesota, which helped keep the game close into the final minutes. However, Minnesota’s 13 made threes and superior work on the boards were key factors in the final margin. For Minnesota, the win reinforces its ability to survive close games even when overall shooting efficiency is uneven. For Golden State, the loss is a missed opportunity in a game where its perimeter shooting and passing were strong enough to compete, but rebounding and late-game execution proved costly.
