Lynx make late playoff push

The Minnesota Lynx have 10 games remaining in the regular season, and are in the hunt for a playoff berth. This comes after the team started the season 0-6, leaving many fans to speculate on if they were tanking for one college’s biggest stars. Head coach Cheryl Reeve took a different approach to the 2023 campaign, focusing on team chemistry more than wins and she believes it’s paid off. She said despite their slow start, the vibes were always good and if you saw their energy at practice, you would’ve believed they were 6-0. Minnesota is trying to return to the postseason for the first time since 2021.
