Collier was frequently double-teamed in the first half and struggled to impact the game as the Lynx fell behind by as many as 17 points. But, when the smoke cleared, Collier had 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists and a steal.
The Lynx get to chill and watch the defending champion New York Liberty face off against an Alyssa Thomas-led Phoenix team on Friday in Game 3.
The winner comes to Minnesota on Sunday for Game 1 of the semifinals.
