The four Liberty starters, excluding Jones, were a combined 22-for-61 (36.1%). The entire Liberty team, except Jones, shot 25-for-76 (32.9%).

The Lynx stole a road game in the best-of-five series.

After the game, Reeve was clearly dissatisfied with the rebound, with the Liberty’s 23 second-chance points. There’s a lot to clean up, she said.

But the rock of Minnesota’s success is a pretty good place to start.

“You look at the end and you know, we kept them under 40 percent, which is monumental,” Reeve said. “A lot of that clearly came too late. We got big stops when we needed them. Repeatedly, whether the ball goes out of bounds or 50/50 balls.

“Referees, no matter what, jumping balls, all that stuff. We just had to be bold at the end. We had to make stops to win and I’m proud of that.”
