It's the Lynx and everyone else right now.

If the Fever ever decide to defend and rebound for the full 40 minutes, they might have something to say about that.
Lynx seemed shaken by the Fever's defensive effort in the second, they took Miles out of the game for most of the second half. But because the Lynx are so stacked, they have equally as good playmakers. The Fever only have CC and Mitchell. Lynx also have better post players.

11 o-boards and 16 2nd chance points. Got 8 more shots off than the Fever.
Fever and Lynx both shot 57%. Fever were 11-24 from 3...Lynx were 11-25. Both teams were 11-15 from the line. Dead even except for the boards and a 12 Fever turnvoers to 6 for the Lynx...but I can live with 12 turnovers against almost anybody.

Rebounding killed the Fever

Yep.

Check this out:

Both teams shot 57% overall

Fever shot 46% from three
; MN? 44%

Both teams shot 11-15 (73%) from the FT line.

The difference? Offensive rebounding (that resulted in 2nd chance points) and turnovers. Minny got off 8 more FG attempts than Indy mostly because of their +6 offensive rebounding advantage (resulting in 2nd chance points) and a +6 turnover advantage.

And Indy was still within 2 points (100-98) with 2:37 to go in the game.

MN had 11 ORBs (vs Fever 5). I believe most of those ORBs were converted for 2nd chance points, including a couple 3s. There’s your difference maker

Coming into today's game, the Minnesota Lynx were averaging 11,129 fans per home game during the 2026 WNBA regular season.

Today's announced attendance? 16,505, which is 48% more than their season average.

The Caitlin Clark effect.

Sounds like Miles disappeared in the 2nd half. Still had a nice game though.

Sucks that CC was apparently playing sick, puking before tipoff. Getting 19 and 10 against one of the best defenders in the league while sick isn't bad.

Phoenix is not a team I heard mentioned as a possible trade destination for plum.

They must either have an idea she wants to sign with them, or want the extra time to try and make a positive impact on her that will sway her decision. They were 27-17 last season, so can't imagine their draft pick being crazy valuable, and the chance of getting Plum for 3 years or so might be worth the risk.
