Clark's jumper with 1:01 left was answered by a Damiris Dantas trey to knot the score at 84-84, and Collier countered Jewell Loyd to make it 86-86 and set the stage for Clark's game-winner. Loyd's 25 points led the Storm and Stewart added 21, while Collier topped Minnesota with 25 points and six blocks.

Recap: Jewell Loyd scored 20 points and Breanna Stewart added 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as Seattle grabbed a 2-0 series lead by defeating the Lynx, 89-79, in Bradenton, Fla. The opening 10 minutes saw seven lead changes and ended with the Storm on top 26-23 thanks to a late 3-pointer from Sami Whitcomb. Crystal Dangerfield capped an 8-0 rally that put Minnesota ahead 33-32 midway through the second, but Seattle countered with the final 14 points of the half – including 12 by Loyd – to rebuild a 46-33 advantage. Loyd's 3-pointer gave the Storm their largest lead at 62-41 with 5:15 to play in the third before Odyssey Sims and Damiris Dantas helped whittle the deficit to 68-62 by quarter's end. Seattle held the Lynx scoreless for four minutes while rebuilding its lead to 15 but triples from Dangerfield and Rachel Banham keyed another rally that pulled Minnesota to within 86-77 at the 2:14 mark. However, the Lynx came up empty on their next three possessions as the Storm held on to win. Dantas tallied 23 points to lead Minnesota while Sims finished with 18.

Recap: Damiris Dantas tallied 22 points and Crystal Dangerfield had 15 of her 17 points in the second half as the Lynx rallied from a 12-point deficit to oust Phoenix, 80-79, in Bradenton, Fla. The Mercury bolted to a 21-9 lead but Dantas and Rachel Banham pulled Minnesota to within 24-23 after one quarter and Odyssey Sims put the Lynx on top 34-32 midway through the second. However, Brianna Turner capped a 12-2 finish to the half that reclaimed a 46-37 lead for Phoenix. Minnesota forced seven Mercury turnovers in the third period to draw even at 60-60 entering the fourth, and back-to-back 3-pointers by Dangerfield and Dantas broke a 64-64 tie and put the Lynx in front to stay with 7:12 left. A pair of four-point plays by Diana Taurasi narrowed the gap to 78-77 but Sims responded with a jumper at the 2:31 mark. Skylar Diggins-Smith again cut it to one in the final minute but came up empty on a last-ditch 3-point attempt as the Lynx advanced to the semifinal round. Sims finished with 14 points for Minnesota while Taurasi led the Mercury with 28 points and nine assists.

HANDING OUT THE HARDWARE: On Sept. 17, the WNBA announced guard Crystal Dangerfield as the league's 2020 Rookie of the Year and head coach/general manager Cheryl Reeve as its 2020 Coach of the Year, both by a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Dangerfield, named on 44 of 47 ballots, is the first 2nd-round draft choice in league history to be named Rookie of the Year and is the fifth Minnesota player to win the award, joining Betty Lennox (2000), Seimone Augustus (2006), Maya Moore (2011) and Napheesa Collier (2019). Reeve received 25 of 47 votes to earn her third Coach of the Year award, having previously won in 2011 and 2016, and joins Van Chancellor (1997, 1998, 1999) and Mike Thibault (2006, 2008, 2013) as the only three-time winners in WNBA history. It's the fourth time a Lynx coach has been selected; Suzie McConnell Serio claimed those honors in 2004.

COLLIER WEEK'S BEST IN WEST: On Aug. 17, forward Napheesa Collier was named the WNBA's Western Conference Player of the Week for Aug. 10-16 after helping Minnesota put together a 2-1 week. Collier averaged 18.3 ppg, a league-leading 13.0 rpg and 3.0 apg for the week, capped by a 26-point, 13-rebound, five-assist effort in the Aug. 15 win over New York. She added two steals and two blocks in that game for a combination (25+ pts/10+ reb/5+ ast/2+ stl/2+ blk) that only three other players in WNBA history have achieved (Candace Parker, Angel McCoughtry, Tina Charles). The award is the second of Collier's career (Aug. 26, 2019).

DOUBLING DOWN: Dallas led 44-29 late in the 2nd quarter on Sept. 4 but Minnesota outscored the Wings 34-10 over the next eight minutes en route to its sixth double-digit comeback win of the season (second vs. Dallas). That ties the Lynx' most such victories in a single season; they also made up deficits of 10+ points to win six times in 2015. A look at Minnesota's "volatility factor" for 2020:

DANGERFIELD EARNS ROOKIE HONOR: On Sept. 15, Lynx guard Crystal Dangerfield was named the WNBA's Rookie of the Month for September, sweeping the monthly award for 2020 after claiming August honors on Sept. 1. Dangerfield was 2nd among rookies in both scoring (17.4 ppg) and assists (5.0 apg) while shooting 50.0% (36-for-72) from the field and making all 10 of her FTs in five September starts. She pumped in a game-high 24 points vs. Las Vegas on Sept. 10 and totaled 20 points and a season-high seven assists vs. Washington on Sept. 8. Dangerfield joins Maya Moore (July 2011, August 2011) as the only Lynx players to earn two Rookie of the Month awards; Candice Wiggins (June 2008) and Napheesa Collier (July 2019) were selected once apiece.

ONE FOR THE BOOKS: Rachel Banham led all scorers with 29 points vs. Indiana on Sept. 12, the highest point total ever for a player making her first start in a Lynx uniform. Banham became the sixth different player to score 25+ points in a game for Minnesota in 2020, joining Lexie Brown, Bridget Carleton, Napheesa Collier, Crystal Dangerfield and Damiris Dantas. Prior to this year, no team in WNBA history had more than five different players tally 25+ in a single season. Brown tied the club single-game record (shared by Abrosimova, Anosike and Moore) by swiping seven steals vs. New York on Aug. 5; it was also the top steal total in the WNBA this season:

* * * LYNX TRAX: Minnesota concluded its unique, Bradenton-based 22nd WNBA season with a 14-8 record to claim the #4 playoff seed, having finished each of its previous two seasons at 18-16 and the #7 seed… The 14 wins enabled the Lynx to better their own all-time WNBA mark for most victories in 10 consecutive seasons (232); they also hold the records for six- (155), seven- (182), eight- (200) and nine- (218) year stretches… Minnesota opened 2020 by winning five of its first six games – highlighted by a pair of wins vs. Connecticut and one vs. Chicago – and responded to the loss of Sylvia Fowles to injury on Aug. 13 by winning seven of its next nine contests and officially clinched a 10th straight trip to the WNBA Playoffs on Sept. 1 when Atlanta downed Indiana… The Lynx endured just one multi-game losing streak this year – falling to playoff-bound Seattle, Washington and Las Vegas on Sept. 6-8-10 – but secured the #4 seed (and first-round bye) on Sept. 11 with Seattle's victory over Phoenix, then ended its losing streak by beating Indiana on Sept. 12…

BULLSEYE: The Lynx shot a season-best 55.1% in the Sept. 12 regular season finale vs. Indiana, its seventh 50%+ effort of the year; the previous high of 54.5% had been set four nights earlier vs. Washington… The 98 points vs. the Fever also marked a season high and capped a run that saw Minnesota score more than 85 points in each of its final seven outings (Aug. 31-Sept. 12) – the 2nd-longest such run in franchise history; they opened June 2017 by tallying 85+ in eight straight games… During the season-ending seven-game stretch, the Lynx tallied 90.1 ppg and shot 49.2% from the floor; they sank 10+ triples in six of those seven games and hit a combined 45.7% (74-for-162) from beyond the arc… Minnesota began the run with a 96-point effort vs. Los Angeles on Aug. 31, a game that also featured season bests for most assists (30, tying the second-highest total in team history) and fewest TOs (seven, one more than the all-time low)… The Lynx finished 2020 ranked 3rd in three-point accuracy (38.5%) and 3rd in Offensive Rating (106.7)…

DEFENSIVE DOINGS: Las Vegas' 104 points on Sept. 10 are the most Minnesota has permitted in a regulation game since a 108-79 loss at Connecticut on Aug. 16, 2011, and the 16th time a Lynx opponent has scored 100+… Washington hit 54.1% on Sept. 8, on the heels of Seattle's 52.2% effort two nights earlier; prior to that, the Lynx had allowed 50%+ in just two of their first 18 starts… Minnesota held the Mystics to 29.5% in the 68-48 win on Aug. 11, its best defensive percentage since limiting Dallas to 24.6% on July 9, 2016 at Target Center… The Lynx dealt New York a 94-64 setback on Aug. 15, capping a season-opening 10-game run in which they allowed just 75.1 ppg on 42.5% shooting; the 30-point spread was their largest margin of the year… Los Angeles finished at 65.5% (38-for-58) from the floor on Aug. 9, the 3rd-highest FG percentage in WNBA history – and the highest by a team other than the Lynx, who shot 69.5% (41-for-59) at Tulsa on July 10, 2012 and 67.2% (45-for-67) vs. Chicago on Sept. 1, 2017 in St. Paul… Minnesota closed the season ranked 5th in scoring defense (80.6 ppg), 6th in defensive FG pct (44.7%) and 5th in Defensive Rating (101.7)…

THE BOARD REPORT: The Lynx outrebounded Seattle 34-24 on Sept. 6, their fifth double-digit advantage of 2020 and second vs. the Storm (38-24 on July 28)… Two nights earlier, they piled up a 43-23 margin in the win over Dallas; Minnesota was 3-2 this year when outboarding the opposition by 10+ (both losses vs. Seattle) and 11-3 overall with the upper hand… Phoenix posted a 41-30 rebounding edge on Aug. 30, Minnesota's largest deficit of the season; they were outboarded 30-20 by Los Angeles on Aug. 9… Still, the Lynx led the WNBA in offensive rebound pct (.304) in 2020 and were 2nd in both total rebound pct (.527) and 2nd-chance scoring (12.9 points per game)… On the flipside, they finished 8th in defensive rebound pct (.750) and 10th in 2nd-chance points allowed (11.1 per game)… The Lynx outscored Dallas 10-0 in 2nd-chance points on Sept. 4, the 10th shutout in that category in franchise history…

TURNOVER TALK: Minnesota committed 26 TOs vs. Seattle on Sept. 6, the 10th time in club history they've been tagged with 25+ and the first since a franchise-record 32-TO night vs. Washington on July 20, 2007 at Target Center… The Lynx swiped 16 steals vs. Chicago on Sept. 2, one shy of the club single-game record (17 at Atlanta, June 30, 2009)… Minnesota was credited with 11 steals vs. Aug. 9 vs. L.A., its fifth consecutive game with 10 or more… That ties the longest such run in team history (June 10-22, 2010) and is the longest by any WNBA team since Atlanta and Connecticut both reeled off six in a row in June 2015… The 11 steals were part of 20 Los Angeles miscues that turned into 36 points off TOs for the Lynx – the top single-game total in tema history… For the year, Minnesota ranked 4th in the WNBA in steals (8.57 spg), 7th in TOs (15.1 per game) and 5th in opponent TOs (15.5 per game)…
