MINNEAPOLIS — Leave it to a student of mortuary science to get the ending right.
Sylvia Fowles, soon to transition from basketball great to mortician, played what might have been her last home game for the Lynx on Friday night. The last of five Hall of Fame-caliber players who combined to win four WNBA titles for the Lynx, Fowles produced her 100th double-double with the team even as Minnesota lost, 96-69, to Seattle before an announced sellout of 12,134 at Target Center.
Fowles would play at Target Center again only if the Lynx advance, then extend the first-round playoff series to three games.
