Collier hit a short jumper, the Lynx forced a shot-clock violation on the other end and then Collier made two free throws to tie it 68-all with 1:38 to play. Marina Mabrey missed a 3-point shot for the Sun before Natisha Hiedeman hit a straight-away 3 to cap an 18-0 run and give Minnesota its first lead of the game.

Last year, the Minnesota Lynx finished with a Western Conference-best 30-10 record, but their season ended in heartbreaking fashion as they lost in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals in overtime to the New York Liberty.

Napheesa Collier isn't worried about winning MVP, despite what Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve said following Wednesday's game.
