Minnesota Lynx Tie WNBA Regular Season Wins Record, Advance to Playoffs

The 2025 WNBA season saw the Minnesota Lynx deliver one of the league's best regular season performances, finishing with a franchise record 34-10 and tying the all-time most wins in a season alongside the 2023 Las Vegas Aces. Despite their dominance in numerous statistical categories and individual successes like Napheesa Collier's standout season, the Lynx fell short again, losing in the semifinals to the Phoenix Mercury, who advanced to the finals against Las Vegas. The Phoenix Mercury, adopting a star-focused roster strategy complemented by strong coaching and player execution, finished with a 27-17 record, reaching the WNBA Finals but losing 4-0 to Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever faced a challenging season marked by injuries and roster instability but showed resilience under new head coach Stephanie White, finishing with a 24-20 record and a semifinal playoff exit against Las Vegas. These narratives underscore a competitive 2025 season characterized by high team achievements, strategic roster management, and notable individual contributions across the league.
