There was only one game Saturday, a Finals rematch between the Lynx and New York Liberty. For the third time this season, the Lynx exacted a measure of revenge, and in doing so extended their winning streak to six games and their lead in the race for the No. 1 seed to seven games.

It's been quite a period of time for the Minnesota Lynx, who have been able to still rule the WNBA world despite losing WNBA MVP candidate Napheesa Collier. The Lynx are now 27-5 this season and in pretty good shape.

The Lynx went on to win by a final score of 86-80. Minnesota now leads New York by eight games in the loss column, clinching the tiebreaker with today’s win. Their lead over the Atlanta Dream, who are currently in second place, stands at seven games, with the Lynx needing just five more wins to clinch the number one seed.

The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak despite Napheesa Collier -- a top candidate for WNBA MVP -- currently out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, they became the first team to clinch a playoff spot and have a big lead in the race for the No. 1 seed.

The Indiana Fever have widely been regarded as the most popular team in the WNBA over the past two seasons. Caitlin Clark has helped Indiana emerge onto the scene, bringing her stardom from the collegiate level, where she played with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Courtney Williams scored a season-high 26 points, Kayla McBride hit a deep 3-pointer with 30.8 seconds left and the Minnesota Lynx beat the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty 86-80.

While there was some hope that Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier would compete in Saturday afternoon’s face-off with the New York Liberty, she was was ruled out due to her lingering ankle injury, via the team’s X account.
