The Minnesota Lynx got a big performance from Sylvia Fowles on Tuesday night but their cold shooting continued as they fell to 0-3 with an 82-76 loss to the Indiana Fever.
Fowles turned in her most dominant performance of the season to date, scoring 26 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Lynx. With Rachel Banham pouring in 14 points off the bench, Minnesota was in position to score its first win of the season.
However, the things that have haunted the Lynx so far continued to show against Indiana. Minnesota shot 4-for-17 from beyond the arc including 0-for-8 without Banham’s four 3-pointers.
The cold shooting kept the door open for Indiana, who got 26 points from Kelsey Mitchell including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 4:59 to play to help the Fever come away with the victory.
Minnesota will look for its first win of the season on Saturday when it hosts the defending champion Chicago Sky.
