Collier, who was drafted by the Lynx in the first round of the 2019 WNBA Draft, also had a big game. She scored 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including three three-pointers. Collier also grabbed four rebounds and dished out three assists. Her ability to stretch the floor and hit timely shots was a huge factor in the Lynx’s victory.
