COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) Napheesa Collier scored 26 factors and the Minnesota Lynx efficiently challenged two foul calls within the final minute of extra time to beat Atlanta 96-92 on Friday evening in a sport that noticed the Dream rally after a weather-related delay within the second quarter.

The Lynx have been up 92-90 when challenges reversed foul calls on Atlanta drives with 54.8 and 20.5 seconds to go. Kayla McBride then made 4 free throws within the final 17.5 seconds to safe the win.

McBride scored 18 factors for the Lynx (13-2) to surpass 5,000 for her profession. Courtney Williams added 16 factors and Bridget Carleton 14. Minnesota made 13 3-pointers and 17 of 18 free throws.

After lacking two video games, Collier helped the Lynx get off to a robust begin. Her basket giving her 13 factors pushed the result in 45-28 halfway by way of the second quarter. However moments later the lights flickered on and off within the Gateway Middle Enviornment, the results of extreme thunderstorms outdoors. The sport was delayed for eight minutes.

When play resumed, the Dream have been a special workforce, outscoring the Lynx 38-15, with Canada’s back-to-back pictures push the result in 66-60 with 3:50 left within the third quarter.

The Dream led by seven within the fourth quarter. Collier’s free throws tied the rating at 86 with 21 seconds left in regulation and Atlanta didn’t get a very good look on the ultimate shot.
