After nearly three decades and several failed chances, the New York Liberty have finally won a WNBA title.
The Liberty, thanks to a second half rally a huge surge in overtime, beat the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals at the Barclays Center on Sunday night. That officially gave the Liberty their first championship in franchise history.
The Liberty, one of the founding members of the league, have been to the Finals five times before this fall — including last season, when they fell to the Las Vegas Aces, and in four of the first six WNBA seasons.
