With 16 points, Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier led the team in scoring for Minnesota, which only made 6 of its 20 deep shots.
Collier finished with a 7 of 12 overall shooting percentage, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists. The only other significant scorers were Alanna Smith with 14 and Courtney Williams with 15.
