Team Notes
• In tonight’s victory, Howard, McBride and Miles became the first trio in WNBA history to each total 20+ points on 70%+ shooting from the floor in the same game.
• Tonight marks the 41st time Minnesota has totaled 100+ points (regular and postseason). The Lynx are now 39-2 overall in 100+ point games, winning the last 32 since an 112-105 loss to Phoenix at Target Center on July 13, 2011.
