After just one game on Saturday, 10 WNBA teams were in action on Sunday. The latest episode of the Locked On Women’s Basketball podcast covers three of those five games in detail, starting with a 76-72 win for the Minnesota Lynx over the Dallas Wings.

Maya Moore led the way for the Lynx with 26 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. Four Wings players scored in double figures, but they were without Liz Cambage for the entire second half. Cambage was held out due to an eye injury, which appeared to occur early in the game as she took an inadvertent swipe to the face.

Tiffany Hayes, Angel McCoughtry and Brittney Sykes combined to score 54 points to lead the Dream to the road victory. The Fever made a late push led by Victoria Vivians. Vivians scored 27 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3PT, 6-6 FT) and pulled down seven rebounds in 33 minutes.

Finally, host Ben Dull covers New York’s 97-94 overtime victory in Chicago over the Sky. Tina Charles led the way with 28 points and seven rebounds in 39 minutes. Brittany Boyd gave the Liberty solid minutes off the bench at the point, finishing with 14 points, five assists and two steals. Allie Quigley poured in 28 points in 38 minutes, connecting on five of her 10 three-point attempts. Courtney Vandersloot finished with 20 points, six rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes.
