The Tulsa Shock came into Friday night's game at Minnesota having lost three games in a row, 2-11 on the road for the season and facing the best team in the WNBA.

So, of course, the Shock left Minneapolis with an 83-77 victory over the Lynx.

Liz Cambage led the Shock with 27 points and eight rebounds. Overall, it was a very balanced scoring effort from the Shock, as six players scored in double figures.

Nicole Powell, Angel Goodrich, Candice Wiggins and Skylar Diggins each contributed 11 points for Tulsa, while Tiffany Jackson-Jones had 10.

The win also snapped a 14-game losing streak to Minnesota.

Seimone Augustus scored 29 points to lead the Lynx. Maya Moore had 14 while Lindsey Whalen had 13.

The Shock used a 14-0 in the second half to go up 60-48 midway through the third quarter. Minnesota rallied in the fourth, drawing within 74-69 with four minutes remaining and 80-77 with 18.5 seconds left, but that was as close as Minnesota would get.

Tulsa is back in action on Tuesday, taking on Phoenix at the BOK Center at 7 p.m.
