**MINNEAPOLIS, MN -** The Minnesota Lynx continued their dominant run, securing their fifth consecutive victory with an 83-66 win over the Chicago Sky on Friday night. Napheesa Collier led the charge for the Lynx, scoring 20 points and grabbing eight rebounds. The Lynx, now 28-9 on the season, have showcased their strength, winning 12 of their last 13 games.
Courtney Williams contributed a double-double for Minnesota, recording 14 points and 10 assists, while Alanna Smith added 11 points and 12 rebounds.
The Sky, meanwhile, struggled to keep pace, dropping to 13-24 on the season and falling into a tie with Washington for the final playoff spot. Chennedy Carter led Chicago with 17 points, while Kamilla Cardoso had a double-double of her own with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Chicago’s recent struggles have been exacerbated by the absence of rookie Angel Reese, who suffered a broken left wrist. Reese, a standout performer, holds the rookie record for double-doubles and leads the league in rebounds per game.
The Lynx’s dominant performance showcased their depth and consistency, pushing them further towards a playoff berth. The Sky, on the other hand, will need to find a way to recover from their recent slide if they want to make a playoff push.
