We could be talking about the last game of the season. The New York Liberty stole Game 3 in Minnesota the other night and the finish was absolutely electric. Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu was throwing daggers at the end.

Ionescu hit not 1, but 2 big 3-pointers, including the game sealing shot. Like I said, it was absolutely electric and as a fan of this team – holy, shit I lose it! Now, it's time to finish the job.

The Liberty played a hard-fought Game 3 and had that huge comeback. Breanna Stewart led the way with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks. She put this team on her back and got the win.

Tonight, will be the biggest game in New York Liberty history. This is the closest they've been to the chip and although going back home won't be the worst thing, getting the job done tonight is the mission.

Can Minnesota find what it takes to get the win and force Game 5?

Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Sabrina Ionescu

New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart, guard Sabrina Ionescu and Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier fight for a loose ball.

Losing Game 3 was a big blow to the Lynx. They really thought they had that game, and they probably should have – they led they entire game. It was very close to Game 1, but no overtime.

This Lynx team is good though. Napheesa Collier has now scored the most points in one postseason in WNBA history. She needs to keep doing what she's doing because she's been playing her heart out.

Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride have both been doing the same. Williams has been contributing all around from rebounding to dishing dimes. She also has a nice pull up jump shot. McBride has been banging 3's, which is what she does best.

Minnesota will have to lay it all on the line tonight. They have won titles before, but it has been many years, and it wasn't any of these players. Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

I'm going with New York to close this thing out. I feel like we are going to see shades of Game 2 in Game 4. If that's the case, then bring the trophy out now.

Breanna Stewart played such a dominating game in Game 3 and will need to do it again. She was all over the ball on offense and defense. The defense she provided was a game changer.

Jonquel Jones has also played a key role for the Liberty. She has been contributing to their defensive play all series. Jones's 3-point shooting last game was great as well.

Sabrina will do her thing. After last game, she is absolutely dialed. We're going to take her points and for her to make 3+ 3-pointers. I like Breanna Stewarts points laddered up to 30 points again. She had a look in her eye that will be there again.
