Game Recap
The Minnesota Lynx W delivered a commanding 104-72 win over the Toronto Tempo W, pulling away for a 32-point victory behind balanced scoring, efficient shooting and strong ball movement. Minnesota controlled the game with a deep offensive effort, finishing with multiple double-digit scorers and consistently generating quality looks from both inside and beyond the arc.
Napheesa Collier and O. Miles led the Lynx with 16 points apiece, while Kayla McBride added 13 points to support a well-rounded attack. Minnesota’s passing was a major factor, as the Lynx recorded 26 assists and used that movement to create rhythm from three-point range, where they made 13 shots.
Toronto had productive individual performances from Laura Juskaite, who scored a game-high 19 points, and M. Mabrey, who added 16 points. The Tempo showed stretches of efficient shooting, but they were unable to match Minnesota’s pace, depth and rebounding presence over the full game.
The result reinforces Minnesota’s ability to win decisively when its offense is balanced and its spacing is effective. For Toronto, the loss highlights the need to improve defensive consistency and rebounding, especially against teams capable of moving the ball and scoring from multiple positions.
