Opening bell: The Lynx staged the best comeback in WNBA Finals history, rallying from an 18-point deficit to win 95-93 in overtime. The team trailed by 11 with 3 minutes, 23 seconds left in regulation, but finished the fourth quarter with a 12-1 lead and outscored the Liberty in OT. Minnesota outscored New York 23-10 in the final eight minutes of the game, with Napheesa Collier (eight) and Courtney Williams (13) scoring 21 of them. The Lynx held the Liberty to 37.9% shooting, increasing their record to 181-11 since 2011 when they held an opponent under 40%.

Watch her: Expect a very motivated Breanna Stewart. The Liberty star scored 18 points in Game 1, but made just six of 21 shots and two of six three-pointers. She was at the finish line for two free throws with 0.8 seconds left in regulation and her team trailed by a point but only managed one, leading to overtime. In the closing moments of OT, she had a good look at a 4-footer that would have tied the game.
