Playoff series: Tied 1-1; Lynx won regular-season series 2-1, also won Commissioner’s Cup on June 25 at Barclays Center

In Game 1, the Lynx pulled off an incredible comeback, securing a 95-93 victory in overtime at Barclays Center as 6-point underdogs, with the Over (160.5) hitting.

However, Game 2 saw a different outcome. The Liberty dominated, shooting 47.5% from the field and 45.8% from beyond the arc on their way to an 80-66 win. The key difference was their 3-point shooting, as the Lynx struggled from deep.

New York outrebounded Minnesota and forced more turnovers, leading to a convincing victory. The Liberty had multiple players step up, with Breanna Stewart and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton leading the charge.

On the Lynx side, Napheesa Collier had a solid performance, but not enough to secure a win. Minnesota will need more contributions from players like Alanna Smith and Kayla McBride in Game 3.
