Minnesota Lynx stun New York Liberty with 95-93 overtime win in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals
NEW YORK (AP) — Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve has seen a lot in her incredible career that's included four WNBA championships.The historic rally by the Lynx to beat New York 95-93 in a wild Game 1 of the WNBA Finals ranks right up there as one of the best moments.“We’re the first team in WNBA playoff history to be down 15 (in the final 5 minutes) and come back and win the game,” Reeve said. “So that ranks really high. I think it defines our team. Getting through difficult times. That’s what we’ve been talking about. You have to be mentally tough, resilient. ... Thrilled that we could hang in there.”Minnesota rallied from 18 points down in the first half and Napheesa Collier's turnaround jumper with 8.8 seconds left in overtime lifted the team to the win over the New York Liberty on Thursday night.With the game tied, 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.
