New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx Game 3 Preview

Game Preview: Liberty vs. Lynx

The New York Liberty have dominated the majority of the first two games and should have been up 2-0 heading into Game 3. However, the Minnesota Lynx came back from 18 down in Game 1 and stole the 95-93 win.

In Game 2, New York managed to hold on to their lead and ensured that there would be no comebacks this time around. They also tied the series at one apiece, but will need to get back the homecourt advantage if they want to be in the driver's seat.

Key Battle: Breanna Stewart vs. Napheesa Collier

Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart came in second and third, respectively, to A'ja Wilson for this year's WNBA MVP award. Collier has been brilliant for the Lynx the entire season, while Stewart has had some help in the form of Sabrina Ionescu.

Collier was the shining star of Game 1, hitting the game-winning fadeaway jumper. Stewart bounced back in Game 2 to put their blunder the previous game out of the window.
