    Wednesday night wasn’t how the Lynx envisioned. Riding the energy of a loud and raucous crowd — the largest in Lynx history — Minnesota jumped out to a 15-point lead in the opening 10 minutes. But New York slowly chipped away over the remaining three quarters, resulting in Sabrina Ionescu’s 28-foot three-pointer with one second left in the game to give the Liberty the 80-77 victory.

    ShareWith the series tied 1-1, Collier and the Lynx will face the Liberty in Game 3 on Wednesday night at the Target Center — with everything on the line. Napheesa Collier knows precisely what lies ahead. It’s an opportunity to complete one of the best stories in the WNBA, to lead a team that wasn’t expected to make much noise this season and end it with hoisting the championship trophy.

    There’s a phrase in Minnesota termed “Minnesota nice.” It implies that Minnesotans are unusually courteous, respectful and just overall good people. However, there are always a few exceptions to the rule — and one of them is when the Gophers and Hawkeyes meet on the gridiron. With the Floyd of Rosedale trophy — and a year’s worth of bragging rights — on the line, all those nice people are gone. They’re now a group who bleed maroon and gold and loathe anyone wearing black (even Caitlin Clark).

    Entering one of their most important stretches of the season — and just days away from the All-Star break — the Jazz are trying to figure out their rotation post-trade deadline. Going with a new starting lineup, Utah stayed with Golden State for much of the game. But Steph Curry got cooking in the latter half of the fourth quarter, and the Jazz fell 129-107 on Monday night.
