In a scrappy, close game the Lynx got past the Sky. "Mentally, we weren't prepared," said coach Key. "It was a complete 180 from the team" that won their home opener.

Chicago, at home, led at halftime, but the Lynx broke the second-to-last of ten ties in a run led by Houston's offense and Hayden-Johnson's defense; Seimone and DeForge (6-10, 3-3) both looked rather good.

Minnesota are now the last unbeaten team in the league: it won't last, but for durable fans, it feels good.
