The Lynx and Wings will tip off at 7:30 p.m. The Lynx finished with a 30-10 regular season record last year, second only to the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty. The Liberty and the Lynx battled for the title in the finals last year, in which the Liberty were ultimately victorious.

The Minnesota Lynx have the talent and coaching to rinse out the sour taste left in their mouths from the heartbreaking Game 5 loss in the WNBA Finals last fall. Why it matters: The Lynx tip off their season against the Wings in Dallas Friday night with their eyes on what would be a record fifth WNBA championship.
