Going into last night's game, Lynx players and fans were a little nervous. They would be without two of their biggest contributors off the bench - Candice Wiggins and Charde Houston. But those concerns were put to rest, at least for the night, after an important win over the Silver Stars.

"This definitely gives us a lift,'' Nicky Anosike said. "We knew no one would feel sorry for us if we went out there without two of our players. It was key (that we got it done).'' While Seimone Augustus had another stellar performance, the key was in the contributions from everyone else.

The players get today off from basketball, but will participate in the Lynx Go Pink Event. After a busy week of games, several players were looking forward to getting some rest. "I'm very tired," Lindsey Harding said. "After [Thursday] night's game, I probably slept three hours if that."
