The Minnesota Lynx and Chicago Sky met in Target Center last night as two teams that were streaking. The Lynx were riding a two-game winning streak and hadn’t lost since losing to the Sky last Friday night. The Sky were the hottest team in the league and winners of four-straight games. Though the game was tied at the end of the first-half, the Lynx defense suffocated the Sky in the second-half, outscoring Chicago 50-32 in the half. The Lynx went on to win their third straight game in a row, beating the Sky 84-66. There were multiple highlights and huge moments throughout the game, but here are just a few of the amazing photos from last night’s spectacular action.

Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot simply could not get her offense going against a stingy Lynx defense. Vandersloot finished with just six points on 3-of-8 shooting to go with just three assists.
