The No. 8 seed New York Liberty pulled off a massive upset on Sunday, taking down the No. 1 ranked Minnesota Lynx in Game 1 of their WNBA Playoffs series in Minneapolis. Now, with the series shifting to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, the Lynx are staring down a huge Game 2 on the road.
Lynx Rolling, Despite the Loss?
It’s wild, right? You drop Game 1 to the lowest seed, but the Minnesota Lynx might actually be feeling pretty good heading into tonight. Why? Because on Monday, their coach, Cheryl Reeve, snagged Coach of the Year honors, and Olivia Miles earned the Rookie of the Year title. Those are huge morale boosts, even after getting stunned at home. The Liberty proved they are here to play, winning that first game, and they’ve got the home court advantage tonight. This best-of-three series means every single game is absolutely critical.

Tonight’s Game 2 is set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET. You can catch all the drama live on USA Network and CNBC. If you’re streaming, you’ve got options like YouTube TV and Fubo.

This is it for the Lynx tonight. They absolutely need to even the series before it heads to a potential Game 3. If the Liberty snatch another win, they’re just one step away from advancing, which would be an absolutely huge early-round shocker. Get ready for some intense basketball!
