The Minnesota Lynx suffered a tough loss to the Washington Mystics on Wednesday night, falling 79-61. The Lynx just could not get themselves going offensively, finishing just 21-of-61 (34.4 percent, a new season-low) from the floor, including just 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. Center Sylvia Fowles had a team-high 13 points, however scored just three points in the second half. Their 61 points ties the season-low for Minnesota. Though the offense struggled mightily, there were still some great moments in the game and they’re all captured right here in the game’s photo gallery.
