The Seattle Storm handed the Lynx a 94-84 defeat Wednesday night for Minnesota's first loss of the season. The loss drops Minnesota to 9-1. With the Lynx loss, the reigning champion New York Liberty remain the WNBA's last unbeaten team at 9-0. The Storm improved to 6-4 with the win on their home court.

Napheesa Collier leads Minnesota's perfect season start into Seattle, where Skylar Diggins and the Storm look to avenge their May 27 loss.

Wednesday's loss not only knocked Minnesota off the top spot in the league standings, but it was a WNBA Commissioner's Cup game, so the Lynx are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference with Seattle, which now holds the tiebreaker. At 9-1, Minnesota only trails the undefeated Liberty in the league standings.
