Jennifer Lacy had 15 points, Temeka Johnson dropped in 14 and Kayla Pederson pulled down 10 rebounds for Tulsa, which fell to 0-8 on the year.
Minnesota held a slim 44-42 advantage at the break and Tulsa managed to keep it close through the opening minutes of the third quarter.
But after a Karima Christmas three-pointer tied the game at 47-47 with just over seven minutes left in the frame, back-to-back treys by Wright and Moore around a Christmas jumper sparked a 23-11 run that gave the Lynx a 70-58 lead entering the fourth quarter.
