Napheesa Collier scores 23 to help Lynx beat Sparks 89-75
LOS ANGELES (AP) Napheesa Collier scored 23 points, Alanna Smith added 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Los Angeles Sparks 89-75 on Sunday.
Courtney Williams finished with 13 points and 10 assists and Jessica Shepard scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Lynx (2-0).
Azura Stevens led the Sparks (1-1) with 21 points. Dearica Hamby added 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Kelsey Plum finished with 18 points and five assists.
Williams hit a 3-pointer a little over a minute into the second half that gave Minnesota the lead for good at 49-47 and sparked a 9-0 run.
Plum's basket with 7:45 to play cut the deficit to 75-70 but Karlie Samuelsson and Smith each hit a 3-pointer during an 11-0 run as the Sparks went scoreless for more than 5 1/2 minutes.
The Lynx shot 48% (34 of 71) from the field and hit 10 3-pointers.
The Lynx play their home opener against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings - who Minnesota beat 99-84 to open the season - on Wednesday. The Sparks visit Phoenix the same day.
