WNBA

It is fitting that the first WNBA title in the 28-year history of the New York Liberty franchise would have incredible drama attached to it.  The Liberty got every break possible to finally get past the determined Minnesota Lynx, 67-62, in overtime before a delirious sellout crowd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 

The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx find themselves locked at one win apiece in their best of five Women’s National Basketball Association Championship series.

The first round of the postseason in the WNBA started this past weekend. The defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces are trying for a three-peat, the first one since the league’s inception with the four-time WNBA champion Houston Comets, who ruled the league from 1997 to 2000.

Although the Chicago Sky has been facing their share of ups and downs this season, rookie Angel Reese continues to be a standout player.

It has been a banner week for basketball in the city of Boston with the playing of the now celebrated BIG3 championship game and the first WNBA game played at the TD Garden.

Since her recent WNBA debut, the Caitlin Clark phenomenon continues to impact the league, with the trickle-down effect of her presence raising viewership and marketability.

Caitlin Clark is considered the new face of the WNBA. Every one of her games has been sold out. The young woman is box office magic. But why?

The Las Vegas Aces blasted the New York Liberty 99-82 in Game 1 of the WNBA championship series on Sunday, tying a league record by winning their sixth straight playoff victory.
