The scoring arc told the story of two halves. Minnesota's defense held Atlanta to just 12 points in the first quarter while the Lynx scored 24, but the second quarter became a shootout: the teams combined for 53 points—the game's highest-scoring frame—to reach a 1st-half total of 89 combined. Atlanta's offense caught fire after that slow start, outscoring Minnesota 54–38 over the final two quarters. The 3rd quarter (45 combined) was tighter, but Atlanta's 28-point outburst in the 4th sealed it despite Minnesota's 19-point finish.

Allisha Gray led Atlanta with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Rhyne Howard added 15 points with 5 assists and Naz Hillmon chipped in 15 points and 7 boards. For Minnesota, Olivia Miles orchestrated the offense with 21 points and 8 assists, and Kayla McBride matched that scoring with 20 points. Courtney Williams contributed 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists off the bench. Atlanta's recent offensive prowess—averaging 84.2 points over its last ten—proved decisive in the margin, and the game's late-quarter pace overwhelmed Minnesota's typical defensive benchmarks.
