WNBA ROUNDUP Sunday's games



Lynx 94, Mercury 82
MINNEAPOLIS -- Rookie Seimone Augustus tied a season high with 32 points to help Minnesota beat Phoenix. Nicole Ohlde added 22 points and Tamika Williams grabbed 12 rebounds as the Lynx (5-6) snapped a two-game skid and bounced back from Friday's 30-point loss in San Antonio. Diana Taurasi led the Mercury (3-6) with 23, but was 7-for-22 from the field and was visibly frustrated by her team's rebounding struggles and Minnesota's pestering defense. Cappie Pondexter added 22 points for the Mercury. The Lynx led 29-16 after the first quarter, outrebounding Phoenix 18-6, and getting 10 second-chance points.
Fever 92, Sting 85, OT
INDIANAPOLIS -- Tamika Whitmore scored a career-high 29 points and Tamika Catchings added 27 points, 13 rebounds and six assists to lead Indiana. The Fever (8-4) overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to remain undefeated at Conseco Fieldhouse. Whitmore scored 11 of her points and Catchings scored seven as the Fever rallied to force overtime after trailing 68-58 with 6:20 remaining in regulation. Catchings and Tully Bevilaqua each had four points in overtime as the Fever outscored the Sting 12-5. Tangela Smith had 18 points and eight rebounds to lead Charlotte (2-7), which lost its third straight game. The Fever led throughout the first half and 42-39 at halftime before going cold.
