WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Minnesota Lynx Have Won 15 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.
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 have won 15 straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.
Atlanta Dream carry a 3-game winning run of their own.
Going the wrong way
Seattle Storm cannot find the exit: three consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
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.
Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.
One to circle: Minnesota Lynx meet Golden State Valkyries in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
