The Minnesota Lynx nearly squandered a 29-point lead but managed to hold on for an 85-81 victory over the Portland Fire on Wednesday night. Napheesa Collier led the charge for the league-leading Lynx with 20 points and nine rebounds, while Kayla McBride added 19 points to the total.
The game appeared to be a blowout early on, but the Fire mounted a significant comeback attempt in the second half that tested the composure of the Minnesota squad. Despite the pressure, the Lynx executed enough plays in the final minutes to preserve their lead and secure the win.
This result keeps the Lynx at the top of the standings as they continue their strong campaign. The team will look to address their defensive lapses during the late-game surge to ensure more consistent performances in future matchups.
