The Minnesota Lynx pick up two big awards for the season. Maya Moore is the WNBA rookie of the year and Cheryl Reeve is the league’s coach of the year. The announcements come as the Lynx get ready to host San Antonio in the first round of the WNBA Playoffs.

The Minnesota Lynx are entering the playoffs as the favorite to win the WNBA championship. Good reason backs up the odds as Minnesota became just the sixth team ever to win 27-regular season games. It can also be argued the Lynx have the best point guard and rookie in the league.

Post-season honors for Minnesota Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen and forward Seimone Augustus. Both made the All-WNBA team, as voted upon by national and local sportswriters. Whalen was a first-team selection. Augustus was named to the second team.

Rebekkah Brunson led Minnesota with 26 and 11 rebounds. The Lynx take on the Dream again on Wednesday at home before traveling to Atlanta for Game 3 on Friday.

The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Atlanta Dream, 73-67, to win their first-ever WNBA Championship Friday night. It's also the first professional sports title in Minnesota since the Twins won the World Series in 1991. Seimone Augustus led the Lynx with 16-points and Maya Moore added 15.

The reigning WNBA champions had a shot at the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft- but they will have to settle for third. The WNBA lottery was conducted in New York Thursday and despite winning the league title, the Lynx had the second-best shot at the draft's top spot. . Los Angeles walked away with the first pick in next April's draft.

The Lynx improved to a league-best 21-4 with a 92-83 win over the Tulsa Shock last night. Minnesota trailed by eight points at the half before blowing away the Shock in the second half. Rebekkah Brunson led the Lynx with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

The reigning WNBA champs will be getting better on April 16. The Minnesota Lynx own the rights to the Washington Mystics first round pick, which just so happens to be the third overall pick in the first round. The Lynx also have the 12th pick in the first round.
