    Napheesa Collier had a night to remember on Wednesday, tying the WNBA postseason record with 42 points in the Minnesota Lynx’s 101-88 win over the Phoenix Mercury in Game 2 to advance to the semifinals.

    The four-time All-Star made 14 of 20 field goals to tie the postseason scoring record previously set twice by Breanna Stewart (2022) and Angel McCoughtry (2010).

    On top of her points total, Collier added five rebounds and four assists. She is only the second player to have at least 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in a playoff game, after Lynx legend Maya Moore.
