New York Liberty looking for franchise’s first WNBA crown, Minnesota Lynx seeking record fifth
The New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx both have a shot to make history when the teams meet in the WNBA Finals.
“We learned from our experience I think that’s a part of the journey,” New York coach Sandy Brondello said. “It motivated us to be better.”The Liberty built a super team last year by adding Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Courtney Vandersloot to Sabrina Ionescu and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton. The team fell short in the finals, losing to Las Vegas in four games. Now in the second year of this group, the squad is more cohesive on and off the court.
Williams has been to the Finals before, doing so with Connecticut in 2019 and 2022. The Sun lost both times. Collier became the first player in WNBA history to have at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in three straight postseason games when she had 27 and 11 in the decisive Game 5 win over Connecticut on Tuesday night.
