The New York Liberty should not have been in that position.
I don’t only mean being tied in a 1-1 series, giving the Minnesota Lynx an opportunity to close them out in their building; we’ve covered that extensively. They thoroughly outplayed the Lynx for all but five minutes over the WNBA Finals’ first two games, but hey, those five minutes were really important, and really, really bad for the Libs.
I mean — after Kayla McBride came off a screen and hit a very deep three after New York again failed to meet her at the level of the screen, causing Sandy Brondello to call timeout — trailing 60-50, late in the third.
