Lindsay Whalen wasn't really feelin' the love in the Target Center on Wednesday night. Maybe it was the mask: did her hometown crowd not recognize her as the darling of the Barn?

They certainly recognized their Lynx: the strongest crowd in a while (since the Katie trade, maybe?) saw good defense lead the Lynx to their first home win.

In overtime. Augustus (28 points): "It came down to having to make a defensive stop."

Augustus' defense on Douglas improved as the night rolled on; Douglas' on Augustus gradually got worse. "We have to get that mental toughness back," Douglas said.

Her team better hurry: they face Detroit again tonight.
