WNBA Hot Offenses
Scoring Surge: Minnesota Lynx Lead WNBA Offenses This Week
Published
Sometimes the cleanest read is the simplest one, points on the board. Over the last seven days, these are the WNBA offenses that have been doing the piling.
Setting the pace
Minnesota Lynx top the table with 201 points in two games, 100.5 per game, with 177 going the other way.
Seattle Storm are next at 95.0 points a game, close enough to argue.
The other end
Las Vegas Aces bring up the rear at 79.0 points per game over 2 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.
The spread from the loudest offense to the quietest is 21.5 points a game, small on paper, decisive over a whole week of finals.
At a glance
The leaders, in one glance:
| Team | Games | Points | Per game |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minnesota Lynx | 2 | 201 | 100.5 |
| Seattle Storm | 2 | 190 | 95.0 |

Worth remembering
Everything above is counted from completed games in the window and nothing else: no strength-of-schedule massage, no projections, just the scoreboard.
Scoring comes in waves. This is where the wave is right now, where it breaks next is anybody's honest guess.
The schedule cooperates, too, Minnesota Lynx face Portland Fire next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
