A new WNBA Finals winner meant a new series MVP.

The New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime of Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA Finals to claim the franchise’s first-ever title win.

New York has reached the podium five times before but lost each time, most recently in 2023. The Liberty had several worthy candidates to win Finals MVP, including veteran champion Breanna Stewart.

But it wasn’t Stewart who took home the honors. Instead it was the middle Jonquel Joneswho averaged 17.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the series, marking her first ever win of the award.
