Bridget Carleton scored 19 points and the Minnesota Lynx beat the New York Liberty 88-79 on Sunday to keep alive their chances at the top seed in the WNBA playoffs.
NEW YORK —
The Lynx came into Sunday with a one-game lead over the Sun, who played Las Vegas later in the day. Connecticut and Minnesota play on Tuesday for the final time in the regular season and the Sun already hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Minnesota got up early on New York before the Liberty rallied to within 52-39 at the half. The Lynx scored the first 11 points of the third quarter and were up 74-50 heading into the fourth before Stewart tried to rally the Liberty.
Unfortunately New York could get no closer as Kayla McBride quieted the crowd hitting a deep 3-pointer to restore the double-digit advantage. The Liberty could only get within seven the rest of the way.
