Here is a recent WNBA story from AP:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Napheesa Collier scored 31 points and Kayla McBride scored eight of her 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Minnesota Lynx clinch a playoff berth with a 90-80 win over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Saturday night.
Minnesota (22-8), which defeated the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces 87-74 on Friday, has won six straight games since returning from the Olympic break, including five straight by double-digit scores.
Clark, the No. 1 pick in the draft, led Indiana (13-16) with 23 points and eight assists and became the fastest player in league history (29 games) to score at least 500 points (520) and record 200 assists (240).
Bridget Carleton hit a 3-pointer to give the Lynx a 10-point lead with 7:49 left before Lexie Hull wrapped up a 3-pointer with two layups to cut Indiana’s deficit to 72-69 with 6:16 left.
McBride responded with a jump shot and then made two 3-pointers during a 14-2 run that extended the lead to 15 points with 3:23 left.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 21 points for the Fever. Aliyah Boston added 10 points and 15 rebounds.
Carleton made four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points for Minnesota. Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman each contributed 10 points.
The Lynx held a jersey retirement ceremony immediately after the game for Maya Moore Irons’ No. 23 jersey, which took place before a record crowd of over 19,000 at Target Center. She joins Seimone Augustus (No. 33), Rebekkah Brunson (No. 32), Sylvia Fowles (No. 34) and Lindsay Whalen (No. 13) as the only players in franchise history to receive this honor.
Moore Irons, Clark’s favorite player growing up, helped the Lynx win four WNBA championships, winning MVP in 2014 and Finals MVP in 2013. Moore Irons, UConn’s Rookie of the Year in 2011, was a six-time All-Star and was named All-Star Game MVP three times.
Moore, 35, played her last WNBA game in 2018. She campaigned for the release of Jonathan Irons, whose conviction for burglary and assault was overturned in 2020. She and Irons, who works at Win for Justice, are married and have a son.
