At the half, the @nyliberty lead the @minnesotalynx, 41-37! Breanna Stewart: 11 PTS | 4 REB Sabrina Ionescu: 10 PTS | 3

What happened: Sabrina Ionescu has 15 points, three rebounds and four assists for New York. Kayla McBride has 13 points, three rebounds and one assist for Minnesota with the game still within one possession.

Why it matters: This is a postseason game, so a three-point margin keeps every trip high leverage deep into the action. New York has gotten the biggest push from Stewart and Ionescu, while Minnesota has stayed close behind McBride.

By the numbers: Stewart leads all scorers with 17 points and has added seven rebounds and two assists. Ionescu has 15 points with four assists, and McBride has 13 points for Minnesota.

What to watch: Watch whether New York can turn its narrow edge into separation or whether Minnesota answers on the next run.
