Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Maya Moore collected 28 points and 11
rebounds as the Minnesota Lynx continued their dominance over the Tulsa Shock
with a 89-74 victory on Thursday.
It was Minnesota's ninth straight win over Tulsa, including a 107-86 decision

Minnesota held a 22-21 edge entering the second quarter after Tulsa battled
back from a nine-point deficit and it remained a one-possession game over the
opening minutes of the second.
But following a Johnson layup that gave the Shock a 31-30 lead almost three
minutes into the quarter, the Lynx closed out the half with a 25-7 run behind
17 points from Moore to take a 55-38 advantage in the break.
Tulsa never threatened in the second half, trailing by as much as 28 points as
the Lynx cruised to the win.
