Four other Sky players finished in double figures, with Emma Meesseman recording a team-high 17 points on 3-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc.

Nikolina Milic, whom the Lynx signed to a hardship contract on Friday, scored a game-high 18 points on 60 percent shooting from the field. Minnesota center Sylvia Fowles contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
