The WNBA Playoffs just ended, and it was historic — so many highlights, capped off by a thrilling five-game series in which the New York Liberty won it all. This was one of the most exciting basketball matchups I watched this year, and I think the Celtics can learn a lot from these two teams.
Both the Lynx and the Liberty often run a 5-out offense, much like the Celtics, though their approaches differ. Of course, the skill sets in these leagues are distinct—the Celtics don’t have an All-WNBA-level guard like Sabrina Ionescu or a DPOY forward like Napheesa Collier.
