But New York isn't daydreaming about a championship parade just yet. "The job's not done," Breanna Stewart said after her double-double performance (30 points, 11 rebounds) in the Liberty's thrilling Game 3 win over the Minnesota Lynx.

“The Finals is a win-or-go-home type of vibe, so everything is upped,” said Lynx guard Courtney Williams, who lost the five-game 2019 Finals with the Connecticut Sun. “The intensity, the sense of urgency, everything. All the small details. It’s just a whole ’nother level.”
