Three Stars: Lyttle leads Dream in double-OT win at Phoenix, Lawson has a double-double against Minnesota

LWB’s three stars from last day’s WNBA action.

1st star: Sancho Lyttle, Atlanta Dream
Lyttle scored 31 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in Atlanta Dream’s double overtime win at Phoenix. Lyttle did it following two transcontinental flights during the past four days, to play for Spain against Sweden.

2nd star: Sylvia Fowles, Chicago Sky
Fowles had 24 points (11 from 13 field goals) and 16 rebounds for Sky, though, it wasn’t helpful enough because the Sky dropped a narrow decision at Indiana.

3rd star: Kara Lawson, Connecticut Sun
Lawson scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Connecticut Sun, who served Minnesota Lynx their third consecutive loss. Lawson was 7 from 12 from the field and 3 from 7 behind the arc.
