MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Napheesa Collier scored 31 points and Kayla McBride scored eight of her 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Minnesota Lynx clinch a berth in the playoffs with a 90-80 win over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Minnesota, which beat the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces 87-74 on Friday, has won six games in a row, including five straight by double figures since returning from the Olympic break. Clark led Indiana with 23 points and eight assists and became the fastest player in league history to score at least 500 points and record 200 assists, doing it in 29 games. The Lynx honored star Maya Moore by retiring her jersey after the game, which had a record crowd of more than 19,000 at the Target Center.
