Olivia Miles shines with 31 points in Lynx win over Sparks

Olivia Miles scored 31 points, leading the Minnesota Lynx to a 99-83 victory against the Los Angeles Sparks on June 18. Miles' performance continues her impressive rookie campaign, raising questions about the Dallas Wings' draft choice of Azzi Fudd over her. Mychal Thompson criticized the Wings' decision, suggesting that a pairing of Miles with Paige Bueckers would have been more beneficial. The Lynx hold a league-best 12-3 record partially thanks to Miles, while Fudd has struggled to have the same impact for the Wings, averaging 12.7 points per game.
