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.

"Rookie sensation Oliva Miles spearheaded an efficient offense with 28 points, Courtney Williams added 27 points, and the Minnesota Lynx won their 10th-straight game with a 108-100 win over the Indiana Fever on Sunday. There was a rally outside the Target Center that pitted those supporting Fever reserve Sophie Cunningham, who told ESPN last week she believed trans athletes should not play against girls, against those who oppose a ban. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeves wore a shirt that read, “Trans kids belong,” and had a pregame conversation with Cunningham, who was booed during the game.
