Last week wasn't a stellar one for the Minnesota Lynx and they were in danger of losing their No. 1 spot in the new WNBA Power Rankings. Thanks to Monday night's 91-78 win over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky,

Napheesa Collier, Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride and Bridget Carleton all score in double figures as Lynx split two games in Chicago.

Lynx star forward Napheesa Collier credited the Minnesota guards for their perimeter pressure against the Sky, as well as their active hands from the back when Chicago did get the ball into the post. All of that increased Minnesota’s number of deflections.

Chicago kept things close in the first half and even held a lead at halftime, 46-44, thanks to Angel Reese and Rachel Banham who combined for 21 points during that span. However, the team appeared to lose its edge in the second half, failing to reach the 20-point mark in either the third and fourth quarter as the Lynx pulled away for good.
