When the Minnesota Lynx lost Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA Finals, head coach Cheryl Reeve felt the game was “stolen” from her team. To her, it wasn’t a matter of performance—it was the officiating that made the difference.

Collier hit a short jumper, the Lynx forced a shot-clock violation on the other end and then Collier made two free throws to tie it 68-all with 1:38 to play. Marina Mabrey missed a 3-point shot for the Sun before Natisha Hiedeman hit a straight-away 3 to cap an 18-0 run and give Minnesota its first lead of the game.

That's how good Napheesa Collier's start to the season has been for the Minnesota Lynx. In fact, she's got a case for having the best start to a season in WNBA history. On Friday night, Collier led the Lynx to a comeback win from 15 down.
