Olivia Miles shines in tight Lynx‑Aces WNBA matchup

sportsJun 14, 2026811,365

Olivia Miles scored clutch baskets and drew a go-ahead free throw that put the Minnesota Lynx ahead with 48 seconds left in a tight matchup against the Las Vegas Aces. Miles repeatedly attacked A'ja Wilson in the fourth, converting drives and making defensive plays that swung momentum to the Lynx. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve called that late-game effort "a special player," and Miles' performance is fueling Rookie of the Year and MVP-level conversations as she shows she can carry Minnesota in close, playoff-style moments.

My dad, who used to take me to Shock games, just went on a 10 min rant about how great Olivia Miles is

She’s probably my favorite athlete to watch right now

And she’s a rookie. Calm and strategic.

Excited to take my family to see her play the Sparks on Wednesday. My daughter who wears glasses is particularly excited!

I went to a game and it was so cool to see her do her thing in person. Her ability to see what's happening on the court & then quickly pass/drive is amazing.

This team with a true point guard is terrific. Phee comes back they're going to be even more dynamic. Love it.

Derek Kast2

She's crazy fun to watch.

Olivia Miles is a legit MVP candidate. As a rookie.

That was a statement game from the Aces. But my goodness Olivia Miles. She was MADE for this league.

Yes she is. But really? They're at home and we are down Phee and Dorka.

I love watching Miles play just not against my squad. She’s was stressing me out with that performance, my gosh

Kelsey Plum and Kahleah Copper with just the 5th game in WNBA history where two players have scored 35+ pts. We're going to OT, and just one Copper point away from the first game in league history with two 40+ scorers in the same game. #WNBA

I've said it before & I'll say it again - Olivia Miles is not getting enough hype. She should be on the front page every single page, app, post, etc. Just how y'all put CC, Paige & Angel over the last few years...Miles has come in better than every single one of them #wnba #thew #lynx #aces

Shameka 🏀

@shameka23.bsky.social

Only two games today but they’re on at the same exact time. Why @wnba.com?? Make it make sense 😐😑 #WNBA

Screenshot of the WNBA schedule for Sunday, June 14, showing two Commissioner’s Cup games tipping off at exactly 3:00 PM. The first matchup features the Washington Mystics (5-6) visiting the New York Liberty (9-4), airing on NBA TV. Directly below, the Atlanta Dream (8-4) face the Toronto Tempo (7-6) on League Pass. The image perfectly captures the frustration of WNBA fans realizing two intriguing Commissioner’s Cup games are scheduled at the exact same damn time. 😩🏀📺📺

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on Olivia Miles' fourth quarter: "When you have a rookie like that, maybe not playing her best ... then just of willing yourself at the end and willing the team at the end, to give us a chance, is a special player."

The Liberty clinching a spot in the Commissioner's Cup Championship may be the biggest thing to happen for New York City sports this weekend. #WNBA

Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum each go for 40+ to become the first pair of players to do so in same game in #WNBA history. Enjoy your Door Dash!

Turned the channel from the basketball masterclass that is Olivia Miles to the flopping masterclass that is Victor Wembenyama.

It’s live! There’s now a 53-0 #WNBA game just like the 82-0 that started the craze! Check it out, and if you notice anything off about player positions or functionality, let me know! I’ll relay it to the developer.
