With a little more than five minutes remaining Friday night at Target Center, the Lynx and their perfect record were on the brink. Facing a winless Connecticut Sun, the Lynx stared down a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit.

Napheesa Collier had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Minnesota Lynx used a late run to rally and beat the Connecticut Sun 76-70 on Friday night. The Lynx held the Sun scoreless for more than 4 1/2 minutes after Tina Charles hit a jumper to give Connecticut a 68-53 lead with 5:20 left.
