It’s fitting that a record-breaking season for the WNBA would have a decisive Game 5 of its Finals
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — It's fitting that a record-breaking season for the WNBA would come down to a winner-take-all Game 5 of its Finals.
For the first time since 2019, the league championship will go the distance. This one will be in New York on Sunday night.
The Minnesota Lynx staved off elimination with an 82-80 win over the New York Liberty on Friday night to force the fifth game.
“I think that, you know, for our team, we bounce back after a loss really, really well, and making sure that everybody is on the same page going forward," Liberty star Breanna Stewart said. "In the playoffs, in a series, there’s going to be momentum shifts. There were momentum shifts in the game tonight. But mentally, understanding what’s our ultimate goal, how are things going right here.
