Minnesota Lynx Extend WNBA Best Start to 9-0 with Dallas Win

The Minnesota Lynx extended their undefeated start to the WNBA season with a dominant 81-65 victory over the Dallas Wings, improving to a 9-0 record. Napheesa Collier led the Lynx with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and strong defensive stats, while Kayla McBride contributed 21 points, including six three-pointers. Despite a late surge by the Wings, led by Arike Ogunbowale's 26 points, Minnesota's defense clamped down in the fourth quarter, outscoring Dallas 24-9 and limiting them to just three points in the first 6:45 of the final period. The Wings played without their top draft pick, Paige Bueckers, who missed her fourth consecutive game due to illness following concussion protocol. The Lynx are on pace to challenge their own WNBA record of 13 consecutive wins to start a season, set in 2016, and will face the Seattle Storm next. Dallas, struggling with a 1-9 record, aims to recover as they prepare to face Phoenix.
