The Liberty's rise to the top cannot be spoken about without mentioning the growth of their fanbase and the league, as the WNBA smashed viewership and attendance records all season long.
In the fifth and deciding game last night, NY erased a 12 point deficit against Minnesota with a balanced scoring attack. Four Liberty players notched double digit point totals, helping buoy their score until the leaders stepped up.
This postseason run had New York exercise their demons, defeating the Aces in the semifinal, before facing the Lynx in the Finals and boy did it take every last drop of sweat for the team in seafoam green to reign supreme.
In the dying moments of regulation, with the Lynx up by 2, Breanna Stewart drilled two free throws to tie the game at 60 and send it to overtime.
