The Lynx and Liberty have already met in one final this season — the Commissioner’s Cup. In June, Minnesota won 94-89 in New York, claiming the Cup and a $40,000-per-player prize. Now, with the WNBA title at stake, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds face off again.
This Finals matchup is also a clash between business partners and former teammates Collier and Stewart, both UConn alums and co-founders of Unrivaled, an offseason 3-on-3 league.
The Lynx are four-time champions, while the Liberty, despite five Finals appearances, are still chasing their first title. Minnesota excels in three-point shooting (38%) and defense, but New York leads the league in threes made. Expect a fast-paced, high-scoring series.
