MINNEAPOLIS, July 5 (UPI) -- Deanna Jackson tied a team record with 30 points Saturday as Cleveland ended a five-game road losing streak with a 79-71 victory over Minnesota.
Jackson, whose previous career was 19 points on Sunday, made 11-of-14 shots from the field. Chasity Melvin, whose record Jackson matched, chipped in 16 points.
Jackson tied a career high with four 3-pointers and equaled career bests for field goals made and attempted.
Cleveland led throughout and built a 16-point cushion early in the second half. The Lynx got within 68-63 with 1:44 left on a layup by Tamika Williams, but Helen Darling hit 3-of-4 free throws in a nine-second stretch to help the Rockers pull away.
Katie Smith, who fouled out with 38 seconds remaining, scored 17 of her 21 points in the second half to lead Minnesota.
