The best thing that could have happened to the Lynx occurred in Phoenix Tuesday night. Yes, they finally got their first win of the season, but something more important happened. Although the Mercury were able to come back from a large deficit to make the final score respectable (and to scare Lynx fans that they just might blow it), it taught this team two things.
One, they learned, on this one night how to close out tight games. Secondly (and equally important) was that although this game should be a confidence boost to the Lynx, they still have plenty of work to do.

Although brief, Kathrin Ress writes after the Lynx first win of the season in Phoenix.
"It feels really good. It just proved that we are a good team. We were just really focused and I don't know, it just all clicked. It is definitely a booster (to the team’s confidence) and, like I said before, it just gave us that reassurance that all the hard work is paying off...
Coach Zierden was just really happy more for us than for anything. Now we just have to stay on that same level and keep it consistent no matter what. Win or lose we need to stay together. We learned that we are a good team. I feel like I am repeating myself, but that is it. Yes, we are young, but that does not mean anything...we are going to keep getting better and growing every game."
