The Valkyries built their largest lead of 17 points thanks in large part to shooting 11-of-22 from beyond the arc. All five Golden State starters made at least one 3-pointer, led by Veronica Burton's 3-of-6. Charles' triple was part of a 5-0 run in the fourth quarter after Minnesota scored the period's first 11 points to pull within three points. Napheesa Collier, who scored a game-high 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting, put the Lynx ahead for good on a long baseline jumper with 1:24 remaining. Bridget Carleton added 12 points for Minnesota, and DiJonai Carrington added 11 points off the bench.
