The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Indiana Fever 108-100 on Sunday at the Target Center, extending their winning streak to 10 consecutive games and improving to a league-best 25-6 record. The victory snapped the Fever’s five-game winning streak and marked the Lynx’s best start in franchise history.
The game featured a late fourth-quarter surge by Indiana, which pulled within 100-98 with 5:58 remaining after trailing by as many as 14 points. However, Olivia Miles and Courtney Williams led Minnesota’s response, combining for 55 points to secure the win. Miles finished with 28 points on 11-of-14 shooting, including a clutch and-one play with 58 seconds left that pushed the Lynx’s lead to 105-98. Williams added 27 points on 12-of-20 shooting, including a go-ahead basket with 32 seconds remaining.
Indiana’s Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 37 points on 14-of-21 shooting, including six three-pointers, but the Fever’s late rally fell short. The loss dropped Indiana to 19-11, while Minnesota maintained its position atop the WNBA standings.
The Lynx’s dominance extended beyond the scoreboard, as they outscored the Fever 31-16 in the third quarter to build a commanding lead. Minnesota’s defense forced Indiana into 19 turnovers, including key miscues during their late surge.
With the win, the Lynx continued their push for a potential WNBA championship, while the Fever’s tough road schedule—including three games in six days—was cited as a factor in their performance. Indiana’s schedule included stops in Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis, with the Sunday game beginning roughly 36 hours after a late-night contest in Portland.
Miles, the second overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, has emerged as a frontrunner for Rookie of the Year and MVP, averaging 19.4 points and 5.8 assists per game this season. Her performance against Indiana further solidified her status as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
The Lynx’s next game is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Dallas Wings, while the Fever will travel to face the Las Vegas Aces in their next outing.
