New York and Minnesota made clutch shot after clutch shot, with the Lynx ultimately having the final answer. The Liberty had 16 turnovers that led to 19 points for the Lynx, while Minnesota had 13 turnovers that led to 10 New York points. Though the Lynx missed five free throws, they attempted 11 more shots at the free throw line — much to Brondello’s dismay — and made six more free throws.
