Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury head-to-head record
The Minnesota Lynx have completely trounced the Phoenix Mercury in their previous five meetings, winning each of them since June 2024. The margins have varied from decisive wins, such as a 101-88 win in September 2024, to close games, such as the most recent 74-71 victory on May 31, 2025. Even though the Mercury are second in points allowed this season, Minnesota's offensive output, which frequently reaches the 80s and beyond, has outscored Phoenix's defense. Minnesota will probably go into this game with confidence and the advantage due to this tendency, as well as the Lynx's greater offensive productivity and shooting percentages. Another Lynx victory appears likely unless the Mercury can significantly change their defensive strategy and limit Napheesa Collier.
