This follows back-to-back defeats before the FIBA break and marks the team's first three-game skid since the start of the 2023 season. Despite some positive moments, coach Cheryl Reeve noted significant issues with shooting and turnovers. Both Napheesa Collier and Olivia Miles struggled against New York's defense, limiting their impact on the game. Minnesota now faces crucial matches against the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever as they aim to secure the top seed with only three games left in the regular season.
