In the WNBA, the Minnesota Lynx beat the Las Vegas Aces 98 to 87, improving the league’s best record to 26 and 7. Olivia Miles scored 26 points and added seven assists, Napheesa Collier had 22, and Minnesota made 15 of 29 three-pointers to control most of the afternoon. The Indiana Fever edged the Chicago Sky 90 to 86 as Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 and set a league record with her 16th consecutive 20-point game, while Caitlin Clark finished with 26 points and 11 assists.
