"Collier shot 10-for-16 and followed up her 20-point performance in Game 1 with a 14-point second half to bring her team back -- and give the Lynx another chance to keep chasing that championship they just missed last year. The Valkyries had one final chance with four seconds remaining following a shot-clock violation, and Cecilia Zandalasini couldn't convert a jumper."
"Kayla McBride made a go-ahead scoop shot for Minnesota with 2:48 to go after DiJonai Carrington connected on a 3-pointer from the left corner with 3:18 remaining to pull Minnesota within 70-69. McBride wound up with 18 points Veronica Burton had 13 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals as the expansion Valkyries nearly extended their special season. Monique Billings scored 15 points off the bench."
Napheesa Collier hit an 18-footer with 1:24 remaining and finished with 24 points as the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Golden State Valkyries 75-74. Collier shot 10-for-16 and added 14 second-half points after a 20-point Game 1. Kayla McBride scored 18, including a go-ahead scoop shot with 2:48 left, and DiJonai Carrington’s timely 3-pointer sparked the comeback. Veronica Burton totaled 13 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals, while Monique Billings scored 15 off the bench. Golden State had a final chance but Cecilia Zandalasini missed the last jumper in front of a sellout crowd of 18,543, and fans celebrated the Valkyries’ historic inaugural playoff berth.
