The New York Liberty will face a familiar foe in the 2024 WNBA Finals.
The Liberty's opponent in the 2024 WNBA Finals has been revealed, as the Minnesota Lynx punched their title ticket with an 88-77 victory over the Connecticut Sun deciding game of the second semifinal on the bracket. New York had pressed forward on Sunday with a 76-62 win over the Las Vegas Aces to win their own best-of-five set by a 3-1 margin.
Minnesota, seeded second behind the Liberty on the WNBA playoff bracket, was the only team to defeat New York twice during the regular season. They also denied the Liberty a second straight victory in the Commissioner's Cup in-season competition, taking a 94-89 decision at UBS Arena in Belmont on June 25.
New York's lone victory was a 76-67 tally on July 2 at Barclays Center, one that saw Jonquel Jones score 21 points in the win. The last meeting was a thriller in Brooklyn on Sept. 15, one that saw the Liberty eat away at a deficit that reached as high as 26 before they endured an 88-79 loss. Minnesota is also responsible for the Liberty's most one-sided loss this year, winning 84-67 at Target Center on May 25.
