Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 20, 2026

Kayla McBride's 33-point outburst lifted Minnesota past Seattle in a high-octane matchup that shattered preseason expectations. The Lynx won 105-102 in a game that combined for 207 points, sailing 32.5 points over the 174.5 market total. The number had ticked up modestly to 175.5 at tip, but neither movement nor the recent head-to-head history—Seattle's 68-88 loss to Minnesota in early June—hinted at the scoring onslaught to come.

The second quarter decided the spread. After a balanced opening frame produced 50 combined points, the two teams erupted for 57 in the period, setting the tone for an offensive affair. Seattle stayed close behind Flau'jae Johnson's 26 points and Dominique Malonga's 9 rebounds, while Olivia Miles steadied Minnesota with 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. The second half cooled considerably—Minnesota and Seattle combined for just 100 points across the final two quarters—but the damage was done. Courtney Williams chipped in 21 points for the Lynx, enough to secure the three-point win.

DAGGER's pregame under call missed decisively as the combined score exploded past expectations. However, the live call cashed, capturing the late-game momentum shift that kept Minnesota just ahead of Seattle's late push. The Lynx's balanced attack, anchored by McBride and Miles, proved too much for a Storm side that couldn't match the pace over 40 minutes.
