It’s a shame, really, that after a season of record-breaking interest in the WNBA, nobody will win the championship. We know this because the WNBA Finals are four games old and it has become clear that nobody is going to lose. Not the Minnesota Lynx, and not the New York Liberty. This series will end with somebody hitting a ridiculous shot to force quattuordecuple overtime in Brooklyn Sunday night, at which point everybody will decide to just shake hands and go grab a drink.
It will be well-deserved. The Lynx beat the Liberty in Game 4, 82–80, and this might have been the best game of the Finals, unless it was the worst. This one featured 14 lead changes and 13 ties. The largest lead of the game was six points, which is ridiculous for a 40-minute basketball game, and this one was actually even longer than that: With 4:50 left, the Liberty lost a challenge, and when play resumed, the clock froze. Nobody seemed to notice.
