Minnesota Lynx 2020 Stats

Scouting report

The Lynx finished 14–8, 4th in the league standings, with a +5.1 net rating that ranked 4th of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 3rd on offense, 5th on defense. They ground games down, second-slowest pace in the league. They stood out for the offensive glass (12.5 a game, 1st) and three-point volume (10.5 makes a game, 2nd), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring was spread around — Napheesa Collier led at 16.1 a game, but no one accounted for more than 19% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +14.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 4-game winning streak (Jul 30–Aug 7) and a 30-point rout of the Liberty on Aug 15. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Sep 6–Sep 10) and a 24-point loss at the Storm on Jul 28. They went 4–6 against teams at .500 or better, and faded late, 5–5 over the last 10. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
