<\/p>\n Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon teams up with Minnesota Lynx to help nonprofits<\/p>\n 02:20<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Minnesota Lynx are atop the WNBA standings by several games, and the two people most responsible for that success are getting their dues.<\/p>\n The WNBA announced Monday that Cheryl Reeve is the league’s Coach of the Month for July, while Napheesa Collier is the Western Conference Player of the Month.<\/p>\n The Lynx went 9-3 in July, capping the month with a 100-93 win over the New York Liberty<\/a>, the WNBA’s No. 2 team, in their first matchup since last year’s finals.<\/p>\n Minnesota averaged 87.8 points a game last month and allowed 78.5 points per game on defense \u2014 if maintained over a full season, both would top every other team in the league.<\/p>\n Collier is the league’s leading MVP candidate. In July, she averaged 23.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.9 blocks a night. The superstar left Saturday’s 53-point win<\/a> over the Las Vegas Aces with an ankle injury, but Reeve said it’s too soon to tell how severely she’s hurt.<\/p>\n Reeve, who also serves as the team’s president of basketball operations, was named both Coach and Basketball Executive of the Year<\/a> last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Lynx are 24-5 as of Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
