In a battle of the two best teams in the WNBA, the shorthanded Lynx failed to execute down the stretch in a frustrating loss to the New York Liberty.
The Minnesota Lynx had every opportunity to win this game. They were within one possession of the lead for the last two minutes of the game, they got stops on defense, but just could not find a way to close the gap. The offense became stagnant, and several sloppy turnovers eventually spelled the end as they lost 75-71 to the New York Liberty.
This game was not a late-season clash without meaning.
