Minneapolis, MN - Seimone Augustus' jumper with five seconds left in regulation, part of her 23 point performance, pushed Minnesota past Seattle, 78-76, in WNBA action from the Target Center.
Lindsey Harding poured in 16 points, grabbed seven boards and dished out five assists for the Lynx, who have won three of four. Eshaya Murphy contributed 12 points, while Svetlana Abrosimova and Nicole Ohlde scored 10 points each.
Sue Bird notched a game-high 25 points with four assists for the Storm, losers in two straight and three of four. Betty Lennox added 18 points and Lauren Jackson contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.
Seattle led 39-35 at the half, but Minnesota chipped away at their deficit by outscoring the visitors by four in the third quarter and two in the fourth. Bird's three-pointer with 1:12 to go knotted the game at 76-76, then Augustus responded with the dagger as time ticked away.
