The Lynx lost again, slipping nearer to the West's cellar.

Sveta was back and gave some good minutes off the bench. And Ohlde was great. But Minnesota gave the ball away a lot and got killed on the boards.

Katie Smith, who has had several off-games this year, had her worst yet. 5 points on 1-for-3 shooting.

"There are times when Katie removes herself from the play and allows other players to take over the game," coach McConnell Serio said. "She was very passive offensively for us tonight. It's something we'll need to talk about."
