Lynx gameday

7 P.M. at Tulsa • no TV, 106.1 fm

Lynx update: Despite struggling with rebounding — the Lynx had just one offensive rebound — Minnesota's offensive efficiency led to an 11-point victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Lynx beat Tulsa 94-93 on May 23 with F Maya Moore scoring a career-high 38 points. PG Lindsay Whalen is coming off a 16-point, nine-rebound game. G Seimone Augustus (knee bursitis) will miss her fifth consecutive game.

Shock update: Tulsa has lost five of its past six games, but four of those five losses were by three or fewer points. Second-year G Skylar Diggins is second to Moore in the league in scoring (21.4) and fifth in the league in assists (5.1, just behind Whalen's 5.4). F Glory Johnson has double-doubles in three of her past four games.
