In Minneapolis, Candice Dupree walked all over the Lynx for three quarters; a late comeback wasn't quite enough. "That's what I've been waiting for. That's what they told me she could do," coach Overton said.

The Sky have their first win; the Lynx are still looking. Augustus shot 11-20; the rest of her team combined shot 17-54. One bright spot: newly signed post Tiffany Stansbury, who led her team with 13 boards.
