Maya Moore finished with 23 points in the loss, Minnesota's fourth in its last five contests following a 10-game win streak. Rebekkah Brunson tallied 16 points and 14 boards for the current Western Conference leaders, who hit on just 2-of-14 field goal attempts over the final 10 minutes.
The Lynx trailed 52-41 at the half before putting together a 29-12 run, with Seimone Augustus making 1-of-2 free throws after Moore buried a 3-pointer to put Minnesota up 70-64 with under two minutes left in the third.
Atlanta countered with a 22-1 spurt, however, to take a commanding 86-71 lead with under three minutes left.
