The 2024 WNBA Finals will come down to a winner-takes-all Game 5 between the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty. The Liberty had the Lynx on the brink

Though disappointed they didn’t close out the finals in Minneapolis, Brondello remained optimistic of New York’s chances as the series flips a final time back to Brooklyn. The Liberty worked all season for what it has in front of them — a deciding game at home — and she knows what to expect.

With their season on the line, the Minnesota Lynx did just enough to stave off elimination and force a decisive Game 5 of the WNBA Finals. Bridget Carleton made two free throws with 2 seconds left, and the Lynx beat the New York Liberty 82-80 on Friday night.
