Lynx Rout Sky in Chicago as Nia Coffey Drains Six 3s

Minnesota’s defensive surge has turned it into a dominant road team that exposes Chicago’s injury-depleted rotation along with its inefficient three-point shooting.

Overview

  • The Lynx beat the Sky 79-58 on Friday night to improve to 6-2 and extend their winning streak to four games.
  • Nia Coffey led Minnesota with 20 points, making six three-pointers and adding eight rebounds to fuel the victory.
  • Rookie Olivia Miles finished with 17 points, six rebounds and six assists and helped seal the game during a decisive 31-16 third-quarter run.
  • Chicago fell to 3-5 and 0-4 at home after converting just 5 of 30 three-point attempts while playing without rookie Gabriela Jaquez and still coping with Rickea Jackson’s season-ending injury.
  • The result completes the season series between the clubs and sends Minnesota to Phoenix next while the Sky travel to Washington as early-season defensive identity and roster health emerge as defining storylines.
