The Lynx redeemed themselves from their last game and kept Phoenix in last place in the West with a 94-82 win.

Seimone Augustus went back to her usual impressive scoring and matched her career high with 32 points. Augustus was matched up for most of the game with Cappie Pondexter. While both players made shots that wowed the crowd, the individual accolades are not as important as how their teams are doing. "I relish any challenge. I enjoy the game,'' Pondexter said. "We're just trying to get a win... . It is good to see her. I am glad she is doing well, but my focus is (on the team).''

As in the other games the Lynx have won, it took more than Augustus to succeed. Tamika Williams and Nicole Ohlde immediately established an inside presence with their rebounding and aggressive play in the paint. The Lynx dominated the final rebounding and points in the paint numbers. That was the difference in the game accoring to Suzie McConnell-Serio.
