  1. Lynx escape within an 83-79 victory.
  2. Stars pull to within 79-75 with 30.5 seconds left. Lynx ball. They look furious.
  3. The Lynx are flirting with danger here. They lead 79-73 with 33.6 seconds left. San Antonio ball.
  4. Lynx lead 79-70 with 1:29 left. If they hang on here, they won't be happy campers.
  5. Remember that 26-point lead? It is now down to seven with just more than two minutes left.
  6. An observation from press row: The Lynx are lucky there isn't another quarter to be played here.
  7. This is eerily reminiscent of some Lynx teams of old that couldn't close out games.
  8. @TheSportsBrain Ugh.
  9. A friendly reminder to those keeping score at home or on the move: At one point the Lynx led by 26. That lead has been whittled to 11.
  10. Second time this game a frustrated Cheryl Reeve has had to call time out. Lynx lead 71-60 with 7:29 left.
  11. This isn't my first rodeo in watching large leads disappear while covering the NBA and WNBA. Lynx still lead 67-53. Starters are back.
  12. Stars have the deficit under 20, 65-47, with 1:21 left in the third.
  13. Lynx need to be careful here: The Stars are quietly chipping away. No lead is safe in this league or the NBA.
  14. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve going deep into the bench with still a handful of minutes left in the third quarter. Lynx lead 64-39
  15. Lynx are still playing feisty with a 60-36 lead.
  16. Hammon's buzzer-beater is officially listed as a 51-foot shot. That's more than halfcourt, folks.
  17. Hammon with a half court shot at the horn that bring the Stars to within 50-29 at the break.
  18. Best block of the season so far, courtesy of Lynx rookie Devereaux Peters.
  19. Lynx build their biggest lead, 35-20, after a great Brunson turnaround jumper. 5:13 left in the second quarter.
  20. Lynx build their biggest lead, 31-20, after a nifty Whalen to Moore fastbreak.
