Tina Thompson added 16 points and Sheryl Swoopes and Dawn Staley added 13 apiece for Houston, which had all five starters reach double figures.

The Comets held their fifth consecutive opponent under 40 percent shooting. Minnesota shot 38 percent (24-of-64).

The Lynx entered the matchup shooting better than 50 percent in their previous two games, but were limited from the start as they tallied only 13 points - their lowest total of the season - in the first quarter.

Houston owned a double-digit lead throughout majority of the contest and virtually sealed the outcome with a 15-5 run to begin the final period. Swoopes scored six points during the burst, but left later in the period for the second straight game with a back injury.

Rookie Seimone Augustus netted 20 points for Minnesota, which was seeking its first three-game winning streak of the season.
