Leading the WNBA in point differential despite sitting at No. 9 in minutes played on a 13-team leaderboard has required the Minnesota Lynx’s bench to discover an almost-unguardable blend of efficiency and execution. With gems scattered across their second unit, perhaps it was only poetic that Diamond Miller turned July 6, 2025 into her time to shine. Turbocharging the Lynx’s comeback bid almost immediately upon entry, Miller collects a most memorable highlight, outwitting Angel Reese with a stepback, setting the stage for a smooth 3-point bucket. Toe-to-toe against the Chicago Sky — a talented team supersized enough to exploit one of Minnesota’s “weaknesses,” — Miller was nothing short of heroic, as her two-way energy helped turn a 14-point deficit into a lead upon checkout. Looking the part of her All-Rookie First Team form of old, 2023’s No. 2 pick paired 10 points (on near-perfect efficiency) with a five-rebound, three-assist, one-steal, two-block, two-triple complement, and a +13 plus-minus to steer victory. · Jul 6, 2025
