Maya Moore, Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augustus took the winter off to rest. The Lynx trio looks refreshed and ready to go after falling just short in the WNBA Finals last season, a few seconds away from a fourth title in six seasons. “You have to listen to your body,” said Whalen, who didn’t play overseas for the second consecutive winter. “Playing year round takes its toll on you.” (Rose Baca/The Dallas Morning News via AP, File)
