GAME 5 PREVIEW
Lynx forward Bridget Carleton made two free throws with two seconds left to even the best-of-five series with an 82-80 victory in Game 4 at Target Center. All five Lynx starters scored in double digits, led by Kayla McBride's 19 points. All-Star Napheesa Collier led the Lynx in rebounds (nine) and steals (four) while Courtney Williams led them in assists (seven). …The game had 14 lead changes and 13 ties, including three lead changes and two ties in the final six minutes. The largest lead either team had was New York's six points.
Watch her: Collier is tied for most steals in a WNBA Finals series with 16. That equals Indiana's Tamika Catchings' 16 during the 2009 Finals, which Phoenix won 3-2 with a 94-86 Game 5 home victory. Candace Parker had 13 in the 2017 Finals against the Lynx that ended with the Sparks losing 85-76 in Game 5 at Williams Arena.
Forecast: The Lynx hadn't lost three consecutive games all season — and still haven't after following Game 2 and 3 losses with Friday's 82-80 Game 4 win. The Liberty haven't lost consecutive games since late May, when they lost at home to Chicago and 84-67 at Target Center two days later.
Injury report: Neither team lists any injured players.
