Minnesota Lynx 2024 season: 30–10, scoring 82 points per game and allowing 75.6 (+6.4 average margin) across 40 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Lynx finished 30–10, 2nd in the league standings, with a +8 net rating that ranked 3rd of 12. They were strong at both ends — 4th in offensive rating, 2nd in defensive rating. Their calling card was outshooting opponents (51.8% eFG vs. 46% allowed); the soft spot, getting to the free-throw line (19.4 attempts, 11th). Scoring was spread around — Napheesa Collier led at 20.4 a game, but no one accounted for more than 21% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +20.7 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 7-game winning streak (Jul 17–Aug 28) and a 24-point rout of the Mercury on May 31. The lows: a 28-point loss at the Storm on Jul 12. They went 11–6 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a lack of free throws was the one thing that could trip them up.
