Bridget Carleton and her Minnesota Lynx faced off against the Connecticut Sun on Friday, May 23. See her full stat line here.
If you watched the Connecticut Sun battle the Minnesota Lynx, then you saw the Sun totally dominate through three quarters. Yet a fourth-quarter defensive clinic and some big points from Napheesa Collier and Natisha Hiedeman helped the Lynx win 76-70.
Paige Bueckers scored 10 points in her WNBA debut with the Dallas Wings, but was no match for Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx.
The home opener for the Lynx on Wednesday night at Target Center was briefly overshadowed by a homecoming for Minnesota native Paige Bueckers. She garnered a loud cheer during player introductions for the Dallas Wings before the Lynx ran out of the tunnel.
"Paige Bueckers is the third player in WNBA history to record a points/assists double-double within her first three career games, joining Shoni Schimmel (2014) and Suzie McConnell Serio (1998... and she was 31 years old)," Philippou wrote on X.
