Mission accomplished. For the first time in franchise history, the New York Liberty have finally won a WNBA championship.

New York needed a decisive Game 5 -- and the first overtime winner-take-all in WNBA Finals history -- but on Sunday, the Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in extra time to capture their first title after 28 seasons. A franchise full of near-misses and heartache, losing in five previous attempts at a title, New York at last added WNBA champion to the Liberty legacy.
