Minnesota has continued its playoff momentum and is one of the top teams in the WNBA

NEW YORK (AP) — Minnesota was a surprise last season, making the postseason after a slow start. The Lynx haven’t put themselves in an early hole this year and sit near the top of the WNBA standings.

The Lynx (14-4), who lost their first six games last season, showed they are a title contender this year by winning the Commissioner’s Cup for the first time, defeating the New York Liberty last week.

“You got to talk about us now,” Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said after the victory.
