Live updates: Liberty face Lynx with eyes on first WNBA championship
The New York Liberty have made the WNBA Finals five times in franchise history, but they have come away empty-handed each time. Now, the Liberty are just one win away from their first-ever WNBA championship.
But New York isn’t daydreaming about a championship parade just yet.
‘The job’s not done,’ Breanna Stewart said after her double-double performance (30 points, 11 rebounds) in the Liberty’s thrilling Game 3 win over the Minnesota Lynx. ‘We know we’re one game away from winning the championship, and I think that they are going to give us their best shot. They are going to give everything they have got, and you know what, so are we.’
That’s exactly the plan for Minnesota. ‘It’s win or go home at this point,’ said the Lynx’s Napheesa Collier, who has now scored the most points in a single postseason (249) after surpassing Dianna Taurasi’s 2009 postseason performance (245) on Wednesday. ‘We have to come in with the mindset that we’re going to be just as aggressive.’
