The WNBA Finals continue today after Thursday night's thrilling Game 1, which went into overtime. Below, we've put together everything you need to know about where to watch the Lynx vs. Liberty, including tip-off time, channel, and streaming options.
The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx return to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for Game 2. The Lynx narrowly defeated the Liberty 95-93 in overtime on Thursday night. Both times, the fate of the game fell to Liberty star Breanna Stewart. At the end of the fourth quarter, Stewart was able to draw a foul and get off one last point, which tied up the game 84-84. In the last moments of OT, Stewart drove to the basket in an attempt to once again tie up the score, but she was unable to sink a layup, so the Lynx ultimately won the first game of the series.
Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu had some of the greatest impact on the Liberty throughout the game, while Courtney Williams, Alanna Smith, and Napheesa Collier helped lead the Lynx to victory. While the Liberty led the league this year and is attempting its first Championship win, the Lynx (ranked no. 2) has four titles.
