All but four of those were played away from Target Center, meaning the Lynx have five of their final eight games at home, where they are now 8-3. The game could be looked at as a measuring stick for a team that has won 11 of 14 and is fourth in the league standings. She and Bridget Carleton guarded Breanna Stewart, who overcame a slow start to lead Seattle (18-8) with 18 points and 16 rebounds. Seven of CollierвЂ™s 18 points came in the final 2:05. There, Collier scored on a turnaround to make it 71-64 and Dantas grabbed a late rebound to seemingly secure the victory. вЂњI jumped just in enough time to get my fingertips on it, got the ball to Layshia (Clarendon) and transitioned back down to the other end.вЂќ Either sheвЂ™s going to shoot over you or you got to contest without fouling,вЂ™вЂќ Fowles said. вЂ¦ By the time I seen her coming, вЂI was like OK, this is your moment. вЂњI was a tad slow getting back, but our guards did a good job of jamming them up top. It was a pair of plays by Damiris Dantas and Collier that solidified the win and ended an 11-game losing streak to Seattle, including playoffs.ДЇor the second time, Seattle got within one point in the fourth quarter, but a 3-pointer by Dantas - her lone basket of the night - was followed by a Fowles block of Jewell Loyd and a 3-pointer by Collier to make it 71-64 with 2:05 to play. Players not named Fowles were 18 of 49 from the field however, they were 5 for 12 in the fourth quarter. вЂњWe donвЂ™t make SylвЂ™s life any easier.,вЂќ Reeve said. While Fowles was impressive throughout, the rest of the Lynx (15-9) lacked consistency. You never see the league pushing Sylvia Fowles.вЂќ вЂњSylvia Fowles is the most underserved player in the league.

We hear about so many other players and IвЂ™m sure ESPN went into this game wanting to love up on all the stars from Seattle,вЂќ Reeve said. I think our league has grossly underserved Sylvia FowlesвЂ™ career. Reeve said it would be вЂњa travestyвЂќ for Fowles not to win her fourth WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. This was the seventh time Fowles recorded a double-double in the first half of a game, second most all-time. She just breaks records every time we have a game.

вЂњTwenty rebounds is absolutely crazy,вЂќ said Napheesa Collier. Her 17 defensive rebounds are a single-game franchise record. Candace Parker (2013), Tina Charles (2010) and Chamique Holdsclaw (2002) are the others.ДЄnd the 20 rebounds tie a franchise record. Fowles is the fourth player in league history with a 25/20 game.
