WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Minnesota Lynx Have Won 12 Straight (WNBA)
Published
Every result in WNBA feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
There are seven clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.
The teams stacking wins
Minnesota Lynx just keep stacking, twelve wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Behind them, Indiana Fever have quietly won 7 in a row.
And Atlanta Dream make it a crowd with 7 consecutive wins.
The skids
Los Angeles Sparks cannot find the exit: nine consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Toronto Tempo are on a slide of their own at 7 straight losses.
Connecticut Sun round out the skid list at 5 in a row.
The board
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Minnesota Lynx | won 12 straight |
| Los Angeles Sparks | lost 9 straight |
| Indiana Fever | won 7 straight |
| Atlanta Dream | won 7 straight |
| Toronto Tempo | lost 7 straight |
One more thing
At 12 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
The schedule cooperates, too, Minnesota Lynx face Las Vegas Aces next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
