The Minnesota Lynx faced off against the Seattle Storm last Thursday night at the KeyArena in Seattle, and it was a much tougher game than expected. The Storm came out hot. They were seemingly making every shot they put up and they buried the Lynx in an early hole, at one point pushing their lead to 18 points. The Lynx were resilient though and managed to chip away at said lead throughout the game, eventually recapturing the lead on a free-throw by center Damiris Dantas with just 18 seconds remaining in the game. The Lynx would hold on to win 76-73. It was a nerve-wracking and exciting game. Here are some of the best photos from last Thursday’s action.
