The Minnesota Lynx play the New York Liberty at home Saturday. The game comes just days after coach Cheryl Reeve broke the WNBA regular-season win record.
She broke the record Wednesday with an 86-80 win over the Connecticut Sun. It marked Reeve's 380th win, which breaks the record for the all-time most regular-season wins for a WNBA coach.
Brittney Griner scored a season-high 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Kennedy Burke added 16 points off the bench, including two 3-pointers in the final three minutes, and the Connecticut Sun beat the Minnesota Lynx 90-89.
Breanna Stewart scored 36 points as the Liberty defeated the Lynx 99-86, delaying coach Cheryl Reeve's bid to become the WNBA's all-time regular-season wins leader.
The Minnesota Lynx had an exciting mid-season week of accolades. Just a day after being named a starter for the All-Star Game, Olivia Miles was named the Kia WNBA Rookie of the Month for the second month in a row. Head coach Cheryl Reeve was also named WNBA Coach of the Month for June.
