Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx: Game 5 Preview

The Connecticut Sun stole Game 1 from the Minnesota Lynx at Target Center despite a strong performance from Napheesa Collier. The Lynx bounced back in Game 2 to even the series before moving to Connecticut for Games 3 and 4.

Collier struggled in Game 2, but her teammates picked up the slack to help Minnesota inch closer to making the 2024 WNBA Finals for the first time since 2017. The 2024 MVP runner-up returned the favor in Game 3 by carrying the Lynx to a win.

Minnesota dominated the first half of Game 4 before the Sun started a furious comeback. They limited the Lynx to just 22 points in the second half while also surviving a 29-point night from Collier.

Now that the game is back in Minneapolis, the Connecticut Sun are likely sticking to the major adjustment they make in Game 4. Marina Mabrey came off the bench in favor of Tyasha Harris, who had a team-high 20 points in Sunday's win.

As for the Minnesota Lynx, Collier is expected to get her numbers no matter what. It's up to the rest of the team to contribute as much as possible.
