The Minnesota Lynx are moving on to the WNBA Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. The Lynx crushed San Antonio 85-67 Tuesday night in the decisive third game of the conference semifinals. Seimone Augustus led all scorers with 22 points.

San Antonio never trailed. Reserve Monica Wright led Minnesota with 18 points, Lindsay Whalen added 15 and Rebekkah Brunson 13.

The Lynx are back in the win column after beating the Indiana Fever, 66-64 on the road last night. Seimone Augustus missed a third straight game for Minnesota, but Maya Moore scored 15 points and Lindsay Whalen added 14 to lead the Lynx to their 25th win of the season.

The Lynx cruised past the Pheonix Mercury last night to a 89-66 victory. Maya Moore lead Minnesota with 21 points. Erin Thorn had 17 points, Seimone Augustus added 16 points and four assists, and Lindsay Whalen scored 13 points. The Lynx open the playoffs at home against Seattle next Friday.

Even with Seimone Augustus out with an ankle injury, the Lynx rolled to a team-record 11th straight victory, beating the Silver Stars 81-62 in San Antonio. Maya Moore led five Minnesota players with 18 points and added 12 rebounds. With the win, the Lynx clinched the best record in the Western Conference.

The key to a Lynx game three victory over San Antonio on Wednesday night will be defense. Minnesota led the league in scoring defense during the regular season, but on Sunday they melted down in game two of their best-of-three series. More specifically, a lot of pressure will be on Seimone Augustus to be a shut-down defender.

The Minnesota Lynx came from behind to beat the Atlanta Dream 101-95 to take a 2-0 series lead in the WNBA Finals. Seimone Augustus led the Lynx with 36-points. Minnesota can win their first WNBA title Friday night with a win on the road in Atlanta.
