NEW YORK -- Napheesa Collier's turnaround jumper with 8.8 seconds left lifted the Minnesota Lynx to a 95-93 win over the New York Liberty in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday night.

With the game tied in OT, Collier faked in the lane and scored. New York had a chance to tie it but Breanna Stewart's layup at the buzzer was off.

Courtney Williams had 23 points, Kayla McBride 22 and Collier 21 for Minnesota.

Game 2 of the best-of-five series is Sunday in New York.
