Courtney Williams couldn’t buy a bucket in the first half Tuesday at Target Center. In the second half she cashed in. The Lynx offense was stuck in neutral for the first 20 minutes, in the second half it shifted into gear.

Collier’s crew includes rangy initiator Kayla McBride, 3-and-D specialist Alanna Smith and two-way trash-talker Courtney Williams. The collective is smart with its fouls and has been limiting turnovers. The Lynx are also an astounding 21-4 in their last 25 home games.
