Olivia Miles delivered a highly efficient 28-point performance as the Minnesota Lynx secured a 108-100 victory and extended their winning streak to 10 games. Miles converted 11 of her 14 field-goal attempts, leading Minnesota in scoring as the Lynx maintained their place atop the league’s form table.
What happened
Miles set the pace for Minnesota with an efficient scoring display. She repeatedly turned her opportunities into points and finished as the team’s leading scorer in an eight-point victory.
Her performance included a reverse layup through contact that produced an and-1 opportunity. The finish highlighted the control and efficiency that defined her night, with Miles missing only three of her 14 attempts from the field.
Why it matters
Minnesota entered deadline weekend with a 24-6 record and one of the league’s strongest runs of form. The victory pushed the Lynx’s winning streak into double digits, extending their sustained surge rather than allowing it to stall during a significant point on the WNBA calendar.
Miles’ accuracy was central to the result. With Minnesota scoring 108 points in the win, her 28-point contribution supplied a major share of the offense while requiring relatively few attempts.
By the numbers
Miles shot 78.6% from the field by making 11 of 14 attempts. She averaged 2.0 points per field-goal attempt, an especially productive return for Minnesota’s leading scorer.
The combination of volume and precision separated the performance. Miles reached 28 points despite taking only 14 shots, giving the Lynx an efficient foundation in a game that reached 208 combined points.
What to watch next
Minnesota will attempt to extend the streak to 11 victories in its next game. The Lynx enter that contest with their winning run intact and Miles coming off one of the most efficient scoring performances of the streak.
The next test is whether Minnesota can preserve the offensive form that carried it to 108 points. Another victory would lengthen a run that already stands at 10 games and further reinforce the Lynx’s position atop the league’s form table.
