Liberty 67, Lynx 62: Referees Ruin an Instant Classic

I absolutely hate that this is the story I have to write about tonight’s game. I will do my best to point out what happened and give a recap on the actual basketball that took place tonight but unfortunately, that is only part of the full story that was Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA Finals. The New York Liberty will celebrate their first ring in team history and the Minnesota Lynx will go home just a few plays short of their fifth title in team history.

The game started as most elimination games do with both sides working their way into a rhythm.
