Again playing without Napheesa Collier, the Minnesota Lynx saw their six-game winning streak end with Tuesday’s loss.

The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak despite Napheesa Collier -- a top candidate for WNBA MVP -- currently out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, they became the first team to clinch a playoff spot and have a big lead in the race for the No. 1 seed.

The Minnesota Lynx’s six-game win streak ended Tuesday night with an 85-75 loss to the New York Liberty. It marks the sixth loss of the season for Minnesota, who at 28-6 still lead the WNBA by six games over the Atlanta Dream and 6.5 over the Liberty.

The Minnesota Lynx currently hold No. 1 position in the WNBA standings with an impressive 28-5 record. And on Tuesday evening, the league's top team will face off against the No. 3 squad in the standings: the New York Liberty.

With less than a month left in the WNBA regular season, the Minnesota Lynx have a firm lock on the top seed in the playoffs.
