In the decisive fifth game, the team from Minneapolis beat the Connecticut Sun 88:77 and booked their ticket to the finals. The Lynx’s outstanding player was Paris Olympic champion Napheesa Collier, who scored 27 points.
The final series begins on Friday night German time in New York, and Minnesota is aiming for its fifth title in the WNBA. This would make the team the sole record champion of the league.
On the other hand, Liberty is still waiting for its first title; in the previous season, New York lost the final series against the Las Vegas Aces 1:3. Now the team from the Big Apple around the German national players Fiebich and Sabally defeated the defending champions in the semi-finals (best of five) with 3-1.
