Liberty oust Lynx in overtime of Game 5 to capture first-ever WNBA championship

New York Times  

NEW YORK — At long last, the New York Liberty are WNBA champions. Sunday’s Game 5 between the Liberty and Minnesota Lynx was far from New York’s most aesthetically pleasing game of the season, but style points aren’t awarded in winner-take-all affairs. Even then the offense didn’t flow, but Fiebich knocked down a 3-pointer on New York’s first possession and the Lynx would never recover, scoring just two points in the extra session. THE NEW YORK LIBERTY HAVE THEIR HARDWARE 🏆 pic.twitter.com/WGZgqsp68A — WNBA October 21, 2024 Sunday’s championship is the culmination of a plan years in the making. “To be able to bring the first championship to New York, first one in Liberty history, incredible feeling obviously,” Stewart said.
