WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch in WNBA: Minnesota Lynx at 15 and Counting
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.
As of this morning, three different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The win-column crowd
Minnesota Lynx just keep stacking, 15 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.
Chicago Sky carry a 3-game winning run of their own.
The skids
The skid to watch belongs to Los Angeles Sparks, losers of twelve in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
One more thing
At 15 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.
