The Minnesota Lynx are one win away from the WNBA Finals after a 90-81 victory over the Connecticut Sun in Game 3 of their semifinals matchup. The Lynx took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
Connecticut cut Minnesota's lead to 86-79 with 1:20 remaining in the fourth quarter, but could get no closer than that in a game the Lynx controlled throughout. Courtney Williams and Bridget Carleton nailed jump shots in the final minute to ensure the win.
Napheesa Collier bounced back from scoring nine points in Game 2 with 26 points and 11 rebounds to lead Minnesota on Friday.
