Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx: Live Score, Key Moments & How to Watch Tonight

The Minnesota Lynx are putting their perfect start on the line tonight when they host the surging Seattle Storm at Target Center in Minneapolis. Through one quarter, Minnesota’s suffocating defense and hot shooting have them up 26-11, holding Seattle to just 29.4 % from the field while converting 57.9 % of their own looks. Key first-quarter takeaway • Napheesa Collier set an early tone with 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks, stuffing every column of the box score and igniting a 13-point swing off turnovers. • Courtney Williams provided the scoring punch, dropping 6 points on 3-of-5 shooting to pace the Lynx offense. • Seattle has already coughed the ball up seven times, leading directly to 13 Lynx points, while the home side has committed only two turnovers. Season context • Lynx (4-0) sit alone atop the Western Conference and can equal their best franchise start since 2017 with a win tonight. • Storm (3-1) entered on a three-game winning streak behind a newly balanced offense featuring Jewell Loyd, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Ezi Magbegor. What Seattle must fix 1. Ball security: the Storm average just 12.3 turnovers per game, but are already more than halfway there. 2. Paint touches: Ezi Magbegor had only one field-goal attempt in the first 10 minutes; coach Noelle Quinn emphasized getting her post touches in shoot-around. 3. Transition defense: Minnesota scored nine fast-break points in the opening period, largely off live-ball steals. Live betting snapshot The in-game line swung from Lynx ‑6.5 pre-tip to Lynx ‑13.5 after the first quarter, with the total down to 156.5 as Seattle’s offense stalled.
