The Lynx defeat the Fever 108-100, improving to 25-6 overall and extending their winning streak to 10 straight. Minnesota, which is now 10-0 when scoring over 100 points, has its longest winning streak since 2016.

Lynx starters in today's win: - Olivia Miles: 28 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds - Courtney Williams: 27 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds - Napheesa Collier: 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists - Natasha Howard: 13 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds - Kayla McBride: 10 points, 3 rebounds

Olivia Miles may have just sealed the deal for the Minnesota Lynx here this afternoon. What a special, special player.

This one is coming down to the wire at Target Center, with the Lynx now up on the Fever 100-96. Minnesota is 9-0 so far this season when scoring 100 points.

Napheesa Collier has stepped up even more late, now up to 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in 27 minutes. Well-rounded game for Collier, who is taking part in her fourth game of the year since returning before the All-Star break

All five Lynx starters are now in double figures today: - Olivia Miles, 25 points - Courtney Williams, 20 points - Napheesa Collier, 15 points - Natasha Howard, 11 points - Kayla McBride, 10 points

The Lynx maintain an 87-76 lead over the Fever entering the fourth quarter. Miles has 25p/6a/4r, Williams has 16p/5a/3r, Collier has 15p/6r/6a and McBride has 10p for MIN (60.7% FG). Mitchell has 28p, Clark has 13p/6a and Boston has 10p/5a for IND (55.8% FG).

Big time response from the Lynx here in the third quarter, extending their lead back out to 12 with 1.5 minutes left in the third quarter. Minnesota is up on Indiana 83-71 at Target Center. Four Lynx in double figures, led by Olivia Miles with 25p/6a/4r.

Stats from the first half of Lynx/Fever: Scoring: - 1Q: MIN 36, IND 33 - 2Q: MIN 28, IND 20 Shooting: - MIN: 26-40 FG, 9-17 3PT, 3-4 FT - IND: 21-36 FG, 6-11 3PT, 5-6 FT Points in the Paint: - MIN: 30 - IND: 24 Rebounds: - MIN: 15 - IND: 9

High-scoring contest at Target Center results in the Lynx owning a 64-53 lead over the Fever at halftime. Miles has 23p/5a/4r, Williams has 10p/3a, McBride has 8p and Collier has 7p/5a/3r for MIN. Mitchell has 23p, Clark has 11p/4a and Boston/Billings have 8p each for IND.

Man. I don't have any other words to describe Olivia Miles. She is now up to 21 points, 5 assist and 3 rebounds. IN JUST 14 MINUTES.

Olivia Miles is putting on an absolute show. The rookie is up to a game-best 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 3PT), 5 assists and 2 rebounds in 13 minutes.

Olivia Miles. That’s it. That’s the post.

Shooting in the first quarter this afternoon in Minneapolis: - Minnesota: 15-20 FG (75%), 5-7 3PT, 1-2 FT - Indiana: 13-20 FG (65%), 3-6 3PT, 3-3 FT

Both offenses look strong, with the Lynx owning a 36-32 edge over the Fever after 1Q at Target Center. Miles has 9p/3a, Williams has 8p and McBride/Collier have 5p each for MIN (75% FG). Mitchell has 16p, Billings has 8p and Clark has 4p/3a for IND (65% FG).

This first quarter of the Lynx/Fever game has been exhausting to watch, I can't imagine what it's been like to play in. Both teams just going shot-for-shot, back-and-forth.
