The Minnesota Lynx defeat the Indiana Fever, 83-71, in the second game of the WNBA Finals. The series is tied at one game each. Seimone Augustus scored 23 of her 27 points in the second half to help push the Lynx up on the Fever; Maya Moore pitched in 23 points and the defending champion Lynx forced the Fever into 24 turnovers, 15 after halftime. Tamika Catchings led the way as usual with 27 points and eight rebounds, but the Fever's defense faded after a dominant start that forced the Lynx to miss 11 of their first 14 shots.
The series now moves to Indiana. Game 3 is on Friday, and Catchings predicted an even more physical match.
