Minnesota at New York

New York has won three of four meetings with Minnesota this season, including Sunday's 91-75 Game 1 win that leaves the Lynx facing elimination tonight. Most of that margin came from the three-point line. The Liberty made 13 of 25 threes (52%), up from 34.8% across the regular season, and Breanna Stewart poured in 34. Minnesota went 9 of 26, well under its own 38.2% season mark, and still forced 21 New York turnovers. Repeating that shooting line in an elimination game is a lot to ask from a team who also gave the ball away 21 times. Minnesota finished 33-11 with the league's best scoring margin at 7.2 points per game, and it went 18-4 on the road. New York closed its regular season with two straight home losses to Atlanta. The number has also moved toward Minnesota since it opened, even with most of the tickets on New York. Back Minnesota to cover tonight.
