The Minnesota Lynx had almost secured a victory in the first game of the WNBA finals last Thursday after Courtney Williams hit a last-minute lobbed three that converted to a four-point play. The New York Liberty were able to draw a foul that gave forward Breanna Stewart two free throws just seconds before the final buzzer. The stakes were high — making one would tie the game, making two would secure the win for New York.
Stewart missed her second free throw, sending the game into overtime, where the Lynx clinched the win.
