Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 22, 2026

Minnesota's season series against Seattle showed wildly inconsistent results—a high-scoring 105-102 thriller in July followed by a 68-88 blowout two months later—but Tuesday's matchup landed somewhere closer to a defensive grind. The Lynx held the Storm to 76 points, well below Seattle's 89.2 scoring average over the last 10 games, while staying within their own 92.0 mark despite mounting pressure as the game wore on.

The pivotal moment came in the second quarter, when the teams combined for 49 points—the game's highest-scoring frame and a sign that some offensive rhythm was possible. Minnesota's 26 points in that period, led by Napheesa Collier's early aggression and Kayla McBride's 20-point effort, gave the Lynx an edge they never relinquished. Collier finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds, anchoring the offense. Seattle's Dominique Malonga (21 points, 9 rebounds) and Flau'jae Johnson (16 points, 6 rebounds) kept the Storm competitive, but the second half belonged to Minnesota. After Q2's burst, the teams managed only 73 combined points across the final two quarters, with the third quarter producing just 39 combined. Minnesota's 86-76 victory landed the final combined total at 162, nearly 18 points under the 179.5 market. DAGGER's pregame call to go under cashed cleanly, though a live adjustment during play missed. The defensive tempo ultimately prevailed over the offensive inconsistency that defined this season series.
