New York finally got its pro basketball title. Leave it up to the ladies, though!
Last night in Brooklyn, the New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx, 67-62, in an overtime winner-takes-all, Game Five match-up. The win marks New York's FIRST WNBA title, just one year after falling short on their home court (against the Las Vegas Aces).
The top-seeded Liberty was led by Jonquel Jones' 17 points, earning her a Finals MVP trophy. In its entirety, the game was a tight one, coming down to the wire in overtime. The game didn't end without a bit controversy, though, as Lynx Coach, Cheryl Reeve, (and many of us fans), called out the refs for bad calls--ultimately leading to the Liberty win.
For the Lynx, Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride combined for 43 points--a tremendous effort that still fell short.
Congratulations to the 2024 WNBA Champions, New York Liberty!
