Courtney Williams finished with 10 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals for the Western Conference-leading Lynx (6-2)
Collier hit a jumper just before halftime that made it 39-38 and the Lynx led the rest of the way.
Arike Ogunbowale, who went into the game averaging a WNBA-leading 27.5 points per game, hit a jumper about a minute into the fourth quarter that cut the Dallas deficit to 61-59 but the Wings went scoreless for nearly five minutes as Minnesota ripped off a 16 consecutive points to blow the game open.

Monique Billings added 19 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, her third double-double this season, and Maddy Siegrist added 12 points.
