Lynx tie record for best start; Sparks close behind

Seimone Augustus not only returned to the court from injury, but she scored 21 points to lead the Lynx over the Mystics, 83-76. Minnesota had another slow start, as they did in last night's game, but won to go 10-0 and tie their own league record for best season start.

The Sparks are right behind them, after a 97-73 win over the Wings for a 9-0 start. Nneka Ogwumike headed up LA's efforts with 32 points and 10 rebounds on 12-for-12 shooting (what?). The Sparks have tied the franchise record.

Meanwhile, the Liberty used a late-game rally to push past the Stars, 90-75.

A six-year-old girl gave the Mercury a clinic on dribbling.
