The Comets welcomed the Lynx and their fans to the first game in Reliant Arena. And the sold out crowd saw their team open the game strong but falter late as the Lynx fought back to win 98-92 in overtime. This is the first time since 1999 the Lynx have gone 2-0 to open the season.

Minnesota trailed by 12 with 6:29 left in the game, and then took over. Nicky Anosike scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half and came up with several big plays late in regulation and in overtime. Seimone Augustus had one of her best all-around games of her career. But the unsung hero was Kristen Rasmussen, who slowed down Tina Thompson in the second half.

"Problem tonight was that we only played about 35 good minutes, and we needed to play 45 good ones," Thompson said.
