The New York Liberty pulled off an overtime win over the Minnesota Lynx to secure the franchise's first WNBA championship. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wasn't happy with a controversial call late into the game which dramatically impacted the results.
After Alanna Smith was whistled for a foul on Breanna Stewart with just a few seconds remaining in regulation, Minnesota challenged the call but it was ultimately upheld. Stewart proceeded to tie the game from the charity stripe, forcing overtime where the Liberty would eventually pull away for a 67-62 victory.
