The Lynx are back in the league semifinals for the first time since 2020, marking a significant step forward after last season’s tough first-round exit, where they fell to the Sun 2-1 at Target Center. This year, they’re determined to flip the script.

The matchup pits the Lynx’s potent offense, especially from beyond the arc, against one of the league’s top defensive units. The Lynx are the best three-point shooting team in the league, while the Sun rank second in defending the perimeter. The Lynx’s ability to spread the floor could be a deciding factor, particularly since they’ve gained an edge in that area with the addition of Mabry.

Adding to the storyline, both Lynx point guards, Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman, have strong Connecticut ties. They played key roles for the Sun in past finals runs, including in 2019 and 2022, but now they’re aiming to guide Minnesota back to the championship stage.
