The grind of the busy portion of their schedule may be catching up to the Lynx.

Playing in their sixth game in 10 days, Minnesota came out flat defensively Saturday in Chicago, and wasn’t able to recover as it fell __ to the Sky.

It’s the second loss in three games for Minnesota, who’s played a pair of back to backs over the last week. The Lynx will play in Chicago again on Monday and host Phoenix on Wednesday before the all-star break.

Minnesota will surely hope to emerge out of the gates better defensively on Monday. The Lynx surrendered 29 points in the first frame in Saturday’s nationally-televised bout, and 28 in the second as Chicago built a 13-point halftime advantage on the strength of 57% shooting.

The lead grew to as many as 15 midway through the third before the Lynx began to battle back. A Napheesa Collier jumper capped a 19-6 run in which Minnesota held Chicago (7-13) to just three buckets over a six-minute span to pull the Lynx back within two early in the fourth.

Chicago went just 11 for 34 from the field in the second half.

But as was the case in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s loss to Phoenix, Minnesota again went cold offensively late in Chicago.

A Courtney Williams jumper brought Minnesota to within three with 1 minute, 42 seconds to play, but that was the final time the Lynx (18-4) would score. The Lynx scored just eight points over the finals six-plus minutes, going 3 for 11 from the field with two turnovers in that time.

Angel Reese finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, good for her eighth-straight double double. Kamilla Cardoso added 17 points and 15 rebounds, while Ariel Atkins paced the Sky with 27 points. Chicago, who’s now won four of its past seven games after a 3-10 start to the campaign, had 44 points in the paint and 28 second-chance points as the Sky out-rebounded Minnesota 45-28.

Interior defensive issues continue to be an issue for Minnesota.

Collier led Minnesota with 26 points and eight rebounds and climbed into the top five all-time in scoring in Lynx history in the defeat (3,236 points).

Kayla McBride added 17 points and Williams tallied 13 points, eight boards and eight assists. Minnesota shot sub-40% from the field.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he is considering “taking away” the U.S. citizenship of a longtime rival, actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, despite a decades-old Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits such an action by the government.

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday. He added that O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland in January, should stay in Ireland “if they want her.”

The two have criticized each other publicly for years, an often bitter back-and-forth that predates Trump’s involvement in politics. In recent days, O’Donnell on social media denounced Trump and recent moves by his administration, including the signing of a massive GOP-backed tax breaks and spending cuts plan.

It’s just the latest threat by Trump to revoke the citizenship of people with whom he has publicly disagreed, most recently his former adviser and one-time ally, Elon Musk.

But O’Donnell’s situation is notably different from Musk, who was born in South Africa. O’Donnell was born in the United States and has a constitutional right to U.S. citizenship. The U.S. State Department notes on its website that U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization may relinquish U.S. nationality by taking certain steps – but only if the act is performed voluntary and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship.

Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, noted the Supreme Court ruled in a 1967 case that the Fourteen Amendment of the Constitution prevents the government from taking away citizenship.

“The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born U.S. citizen,” Frost said in an email Saturday. “In short, we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.”

O’Donnell moved to Ireland after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to win his second term. She has said she’s in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship based on family lineage.

Responding to Trump Saturday, O’Donnell wrote on social media that she had upset the president and “add me to the list of people who oppose him at every turn.”

After a successful launch last summer, the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival has grown for its sophomore year. The festival, at St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park, has expanded from two to three days and will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Headlined by Hozier, Fall Out Boy and Green Day, the festival (which despite its name has nothing to do with yacht rock) is promoted by C3 Presents, an Austin, Texas, company that’s also behind Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza. C3 was the largest independent promoter in the world until Live Nation bought a controlling stake in the company in 2014.

Organizers expect to attract more than 30,000 concertgoers each day.

Here’s what folks headed to the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival need to know:

Tickets

As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available at a number of price points, starting at $150 for one-day general admission and going all the way up to three-day platinum tickets for $2,300, which includes a number of perks including free food and drinks, front-of-stage viewing and access to air-conditioned restrooms. See minnesotayachtclubfestival.com for details.

Many of the three-day ticket packages are sold out, but each has a waitlist where fans can register. There are also verified resale tickets available through the festival’s website.

Getting there

There are two entrances to the festival. The main entrance is at Harriet Island Boulevard and South Wabasha Street, while the west entrance is on West Water Street between Bidwell Street and Plato Boulevard.

There is no on-site parking at the festival, but its website lists numerous downtown St. Paul parking lots that are a 10- to 16-minute walk from the site. Several Metro Transit buses stop a half-mile from Harriet Island. The rideshare drop off is at 119 Livingston Ave. S. The festival promises “ample bike parking” located near the two entrances.

The Green Line’s St. Paul stations — from Raymond Avenue to Union Depot — are scheduled to be offline for maintenance during the festival. Green Line replacement buses will operate on a similar schedule as trains.

Getting in

Concertgoers must wear securely fastened wristbands, which will be rendered void if tampered with or removed. Wristbands that are damaged, lost or stolen can be replaced by the original purchaser one time only for $20. Patrons can leave and re-enter at will up until 7 p.m. each day.

There are guest services booths near each entrance with a lost and found. Free hydration stations are located throughout the site. Lockers are available to rent for $25 each day or $65 for all three days.

What is allowed on site

Feel free to bring: Small clutch purses and fanny packs (6″ x 9″ or smaller) with no more than one pocket; all other bags must be clear and smaller than 12″ x 6″ x 12″; empty hydration packs and reusable water bottles; strollers; frisbees; binoculars; blankets; basic cameras (no detachable lenses or other accessories); sunscreen in non-aerosol containers (3.4 ounces or less); portable battery packs; personal-sized misting fans and hand sanitizer; prescription medicine in the pharmacy-labeled container that states the prescription, dosage and patient name; over the counter medications; and factory sealed Naloxone/Narcan kits. All bags will be searched at the gate.
