Minnesota Lynx Win First Commissioner's Cup Championship

The Minnesota Lynx won their first Commissioner's Cup championship with a 94-89 victory over the New York Liberty. Bridget Carleton and Napheesa Collier led the Lynx, scoring 23 and 21 points respectively, with Collier also winning the MVP award. Despite a strong performance from Breanna Stewart, who scored 24 points, the Liberty could not overcome their 21 turnovers and the Lynx's pivotal 10-0 run late in the game. The game was moved to UBS Arena due to scheduling conflicts at Barclays Center. The Lynx's defensive prowess was evident as they held Jonquel Jones to just two points. This victory adds to the Lynx's recent winning streak, including a notable win against the Phoenix Mercury where Collier had a double-double.
