The Lynx are headed back to Brooklyn on Sunday for the best-of-five series finale, following a stunning nail-biter Friday that saw the team defeat the New York Liberty in the final seconds.

The championship run marks the second time this year that a pro sports team from the North Star State will compete for a national title (the Minnesota Frost hockey team took home the inaugural Walter Cup in May).

It's also the second time a Minnesota basketball franchise has made a playoff run this year. The Timberwolves made it to the NBA's Western Conference Finals in the spring, falling to the Dallas Mavericks in five games.

Where to follow the game

The Lynx will play the Liberty at 7 p.m., at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. ESPN on TV and KFAN-FM on the radio will air the game.

Where to watch around the Twin Cities

Many bars and breweries around the metro will be showing the game, especially the downtown bars near the Target Center. Here are a few standouts.

A Bar of Their Own

As with all the games of the finals, Game 5 will be aired Sunday. All seating is first-come, first-served, and reservations are not taken.
