It was a night of milestones in Minneapolis last night as the Lynx took advantage of the Shock's seven player line-up to capture their ninth win of the season.

Svetlana Abrosimova scored a season high 25 points and became the 51st person in the league to score 2,000 career points. Seimone Augustus added 19 and broke her own single season scoring record for the Lynx. Noelle Quinn added to her impressive assist numbers on the season. While she may not catch Teresa Edwards' record on Sunday, she will be close.

Because of the limited number of available players, the Shock played zone defense for the entire game. The Lynx answered by taking 27 three point attempts - connecting on 13.

And in a nice treat for Lynx fans, they were able to be there for Katie Smith's 6,000 career point as a professional - many of which she scored when she played for Minnesota.

Tim Leighton of the Pioneer Press talked to Smith, Bill Laimbeer and Roger Griffith about the trade that sent Smith to Detroit. "At the time we made the trade, it made a lot of sense for us,'' Griffith said. "Since then, we have moved on. It felt right at the time. Yes, we don't have those players we traded for, but we do have other players in those spots.'' Laimbeer added "Right, wrong or indifferent, she had pretty much run her course here in Minnesota. She is a fine player, but it was clear, with her, they weren't going to win a championship."
