The New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx 85-75 in the final regular-season meeting, completing a four-game stretch in three weeks that saw Minnesota win three of four. The Liberty hold a 22-13 record with nine regular-season games remaining while the Lynx sit at 28-6 and atop the standings. The compact, late-season series provided a closer preview of potential playoff matchups and team readiness with playoffs opening Sept. 14. Jonquel Jones offers a major matchup advantage for New York against Minnesota’s smaller frontcourt, and Jones has been highly efficient against the Lynx this season.
"The closer you play them to the end of the year, I think that helps."
"It's nice to finally get a win against them; the playoffs is another story,"
"I'm glad we're past them now. We're focused on the next nine games. It's all about focusing on us and getting as high a position as we can in the standings."
