This could be it, the moment we have waited for. If the New York Liberty defeat the Minnesota Lynx tonight, they will be the WNBA champions, the ultimate winners in the league’s fabulous season.
After Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu’s late game heroics two nights ago, the Liberty are up, 2-1 in the best-of-five series. A win tonight ends the W’s magical season and would be the first pro basketball title in New York since the 1976 New York Nets with Doctor J won the ABA championship. A loss and it’s back to Barclays Center for Game 5, a win or go home game for the ages that would begin at 8:00 p.
