History

Historical Context

The Minnesota Lynx, an expansion team launched in 1999, broke a 20-year title drought for the state by sweeping the Atlanta Dream in 2011 after drafting Maya Moore first overall that April; they added championships in 2013, 2015 and 2017, finishing that inaugural title season 27-7. Their 2026 100-76 win over the Dallas Wings echoes that sustained dominance.
