Minnesota Lynx 2025 season: 34–10, scoring 86.1 points per game and allowing 76.7 (+9.4 average margin) across 44 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Lynx finished 34–10, 1st in the league standings, with a +12.1 net rating that ranked 1st of 13. They won at both ends: 1st in offensive rating and 1st in defensive rating. Their calling cards were shot-making (54.2% eFG, 1st) and forcing turnovers (opponents give it away on 19.6% of possessions); the soft spot, getting to the free-throw line (20.5 attempts, 12th). Scoring was spread around — Napheesa Collier led at 22.9 a game, but no one accounted for more than 20% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +11.7 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 9-game winning streak (May 16–Jun 8) and a 53-point rout of the Aces on Aug 2. The lows: a 14-point loss to the Storm on Aug 28. They went 18–8 against teams at .500 or better and 8–3 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a lack of free throws was the one thing that could trip them up.
