Il aura donc fallu passer par un Game 5 éprouvant et une nouvelle prolongation pour décider de l’issue de cette saison WNBA qui aura été un franc succès sur le plan médiatique. Face à son destin, et son public, c’est donc le New York Liberty qui a décroché le premier titre de champion de son histoire, après ses cinq précédents échecs en Finals…

The New York Liberty can finally call themselves WNBA champions. After coming up on the losing end of five WNBA Finals, the Liberty captured their first championship, beating the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime of the decisive Game 5 Sunday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Lynx had won a hard-fought Game 4 Friday in Minneapolis to force a winner-take-all game in the best-of-5 finals. Jonquel Jones led New York with 17 points and six rebounds, and Breanna Stewart 13 points and 15 rebounds. Napheesa paced Minnesota with 22 points and seven rebounds, while Kayla McBride added 21 points, five rebounds and five sists.

It’s been a long road for the Liberty, one of the original teams when the WNBA debuted in 1997. New York reached the league’s first final that season, losing to the Houston Comets, and were dispatched by the Comets again in 1999 and 2000 before losing to the Los Angeles Sparks in 2002. It then took the Liberty 21 years to make it back to the Finals, but they couldn’t overcome the Las Vegas Aces last year. But now, New York has finally conquered the mountain and can celebrate a long-awaited WNBA championship in the Big Apple.
