Here is the only safe advice for predicting Game 5 of the WNBA Finals: Don’t even try.
If the No. 1 New York Liberty and No. 2 Minnesota Lynx have done anything over the last week, they’ve made sure their respective fanbases have not experienced any peace, going through wild momentum swings and dragging viewers right along with them. The margin of victory has been just one basket in three of these four games. (And the remaining game stayed just as close until the final minutes of the fourth quarter.) It has been the first Finals in league history to feature more than one comeback of at least 15 points. The series has included both mind-boggling flubs and stone-cold winners. It feels a little unfair at this point to ask for anything more. It would be entirely fair, in fact, to ask for a bit less, if only for the sake of cardiac health.
