Seimone Augustus

Maya Moore scored 11 of her 25 points in the fourth quarter and had a huge put-back down the stretch to lead the Lynx to an 83-77 victory over the Indiana Fever on Sunday.

After limping across the locker room and painfully sitting down on the chair in front of her locker, Seimone Augustus was still somehow able to smile. Playing with an injury that hurt with every step she took, Augustus scored 19 points and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Washington Mystics 75-65 Friday night.

Brittney Griner scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to lead the Phoenix Mercury to a 92-79 win over the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday night, offsetting Maya Moore's 36 points. The 6-foot-8 phenom has scored in double figures in 10 of the Mercury's 11 games and has three double-doubles on the season.

Angel McCoughtry scored 23 points, Erika de Souza had 16 points and 11 rebounds and the Atlanta Dream held off the Minnesota Lynx 85-82 on Friday night. It was just the second loss of the season for the defending champion Lynx.

Another season, another great start by Minnesota Lynx. Seimone Augustus had a season-high 25 points and Minnesota remained unbeaten, holding off the San Antonio Stars 87-79 on Sunday.

Maya Moore had been unstoppable on offense through Minnesota's first four games. It was her stellar defense that kept the Lynx undefeated. Moore and the Lynx held second-leading scorer Elena Delle Donne to just 16 points to remain perfect with a 75-72 win over the Chicago Sky on Monday in a showdown of undefeated teams.

A collision with a teammate sent Maya Moore to the bench, and even that didn't slow her down in the end. Moore became the first WNBA player to score at least 30 points in four straight games and the Minnesota Lynx defeated the New York Liberty 87-82 Saturday.

Even when she's struggling, Minnesota Lynx guard Lindsay Whalen implores her teammates to have faith in her game. On Sunday, she rewarded them -- eventually.

Seimone Augustus scored 20 points and Lindsay Whalen had 14 points and five assists to push the Minnesota Lynx to the brink of their second title in three seasons with an 88-63 victory over the Atlanta Dream in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Tuesday night.

Minnesota is headed back to a familiar place — the WNBA finals. Maya Moore scored 27 points, Seimone Augustus had 22, and the Lynx beat the Phoenix Mercury 72-65 Sunday to advance with a sweep in the best-of-three WNBA Western Conference finals.
