Two players had career highs and the Lynx held off the Monarchs for their second win in a row. Nicole Powell scored a career high 29 for the Monarchs, but she was topped by 39 from Seimone.

The game was similar to the now infamous Mystics game for the Lynx. They had a double digit lead on a team in the fourth quarter, despite an advantage at the free throw line for their oppponent. The other team gets back in the game by forcing turnovers on the young backcourt and hitting big shots. But this time, the Lynx held off the late rally and earned the victory.

This was the Lynx first win over the Monarchs since 2004. "I give all the credit to Minnesota," Jenny Boucek said. "This is definitely a missed opportunity."
