The Minnesota Lynx were in Washington taking on the Mystics on Sunday afternoon. It was the first meeting this season between the two teams and it didn’t end very well for the Lynx. The Lynx fell to Washington 77-69, despite double-doubles from both guard Lindsay Whalen and center Sylvia Fowles. Fowles finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds while Whalen finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The Lynx swept the Mystics in two games last season but are now in danger of being swept when the two teams meet again on Wednesday.

Despite the loss, there were still many great moments in last night’s game and many highlights for both teams. Here are some of the best photo’s from last night’s action in this game’s photo gallery.
