In a thrilling game, the Minnesota Lynx defeated the Connecticut Sun 90-81 to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five semifinal matchup. Star player Napheesa Collier bounced back from a rough offensive performance in the previous game to score 26 points and lead her team to victory. Collier’s aggressive play and clutch plays down the stretch helped secure the win for the Lynx.
With Game 4 set to take place on Sunday in Connecticut, the Lynx are aiming to advance to the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2017. Collier’s stellar performance, coupled with a strong defensive effort, propelled Minnesota to the crucial victory over the Sun. Despite a late rally from Connecticut, led by Brionna Jones and DeWanna Bonner, the Lynx held on for the win.
The physical nature of the series was evident in the first two games, but Game 3 saw less aggression and more focus on execution. The animosity between the teams, particularly between Courtney Williams and Marina Mabrey, seemed to simmer down as the players emphasized on-court competition over confrontation. With Game 4 on the horizon, the Lynx are poised to close out the series and secure their spot in the WNBA Finals.
