Two Western Conference titans are colliding, as No. 4 Dallas and No. 1 Minnesota carry unbeaten Commissioner’s Cup records into tonight’s high-stakes rematch.
The Lynx won last month’s non-tournament clash 90-86 behind Natasha Howard’s buzzer-beating 26 points, while Dallas looks to extend a four-game winning streak after Friday's 104-96 victory over LA boosted the Wings to No. 2 in the Commissioner’s Cup race.
“Our defense in that game was maybe right before we started figuring some things out,” top 2026 draft pick Azzi Fudd said of Dallas’s May 14th loss. “Now we have a much better understanding of our defensive identity.”
The clash pits Fudd against record-breaking No. 2 pick Olivia Miles, after Miles out-dueled her with 15 points and six assists in their first meeting.
“She’s a great shooter and a great passer,” Wings forward Maddy Siegrist said of Miles. “She’s going to make a lot of ‘wow’ plays, so you just try to make everything as difficult as possible.”
Dallas will expect reinforcement from previously injured Li Yueru and Aziaha James, while veteran Odyssey Sims remains sidelined.
