Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx face winner-take-all Game 5 in WNBA semis
The Sun eliminated the Lynx in the first round last season with a victory at Minnesota in the decisive Game 3. They’re in a similar position one year later. The teams meet Tuesday in Game 5 of their semi-final matchup with a trip to the WNBA Finals and the opportunity to face New York at stake.
“The atmosphere over there the first two games was absolutely insane. I can only imagine what it would be like in a Game 5,” Sun forward DeWanna Bonner said after the Game 4 win Sunday. “We just got to focus in on each other and we have each other. … They’re championship fans, they won multiple championships. So, they’re hungry for another one. So, you know it’s going to be crazy.”
The Lynx are 2-1 in Game 5’s with all of those appearances coming in the WNBA Finals, the last of which was in 2017 when they beat Los Angeles. That year, the Lynx won their fourth championship in a span of seven years.
