The 2019 WNBA All-Star Game is in the books! It was a fun, high-scoring affair in Las Vegas. While there wasn’t much defense until the last few minutes (as is to be expected), it was an exciting victory for Team Wilson, 129-126.

All three players representing the Lynx in the game played a role in the win. Sylvia Fowles finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and two assists, Odyssey Sims had 10 points with two assists and two rebounds and Napheesa Collier finished with four points.

Erica Wheeler took home the MVP award after finishing with 25 points and seven threes, including a deep one to put the game on ice. She is the first undrafted player to ever win the award. Additionally, the two teams shot a combined 112 three-pointers during the contest, a WNBA record.

The highlight of the game from a Lynx perspective belonged to Sims, who hit a three at the first quarter buzzer.

A good time was had by all and with the weekend concluded the Lynx All-Stars will now take some well-deserved rest before getting back into the grind of the regular season. You can check out all the All-Star highlights from your Lynx players below.
