The Minnesota Lynx secured a 108-100 victory over the Indiana Fever on August 2, led by Oliva Miles with 28 points and Courtney Williams contributing 27. The Lynx extended their winning streak to ten games, a feat not accomplished since 2016. Despite a strong showing from the Fever's Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 37 points, Indiana could not overcome a late rally. The Lynx maintained a steady lead for most of the game, aided by superior rebounding and fewer turnovers. Both teams shot effectively, but the Lynx's defensive edge proved crucial. Minnesota looks to continue their streak in their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Sparks, while the Fever will face the Las Vegas Aces.
