Battling back from a Game 2 setback in San Antonio, Seimone Augustus and the Minnesota Lynx moved forward on Tuesday night, defeating the Silver Stars 85-67 at the Target Center in Minnesota.

Augustus scored a game-high 22 points on 10-for-16 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out four assists for the Lynx, who won their first playoff series in franchise history and booked a place in the Western Conference Finals, where Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury await.

"The fact that we hadn't won a three-game series before," said Augustus. "It kind of shows our guts and our toughness."
