Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said the WNBA championship was “stolen” from the Lynx during her complaints about the officiating.

The New York Liberty finally have a WNBA championship after beating the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime of a decisive Game 5 on Sunday night.

It’s fitting that a record-breaking season for the WNBA would have a decisive Game 5 of its Finals.

Bridget Carleton made two free throws with 2 seconds left, and the Minnesota Lynx forced a decisive Game 5 of the WNBA Finals, beating the New York Liberty 82-80.

Napheesa Collier’s turnaround jumper with 8.8 seconds left lifted the Minnesota Lynx to a 95-93 win over the New York Liberty in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

Minnesota's Napheesa Collier was honored as the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and Cheryl Reeve earned the Coach of the Year award on Sunday.

A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark had record-breaking seasons in the WNBA.

Napheesa Collier has raised her play even higher after helping the United States win its eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

A’ja Wilson scored 20 points and Jackie Young added 15 points to help the U.S. beat Nigeria 88-74 in the quarterfinals, extending its record winning streak to 59 consecutive Olympic wins.

Jackie Young scored 19 points and the U.S. showed off its incredible depth, beating Germany 87-68 in the Americans’ final game of pool play.

There is no panic in the U.S. women’s Olympic team.

This season with the Minnesota Lynx has been as enjoyable as ever for Cheryl Reeve.

The WNBA heads into its monthlong Olympic break following this weekend’s highly anticipated list of All-Star festivities.

The stars have aligned for the WNBA with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese joining the ranks of A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi and others.

The WNBA debuts of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso were widely watched on a social media livestream from a fan who stepped in when the league’s app couldn’t broadcast the game.

USA Basketball’s men’s team will see Serbia and South Sudan in two of its three group-stage games at the Paris Olympics, while the U.S. women will open their schedule in a gold-medal-game rematch against Japan in France.

A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are keenly aware of the legacy of success they are part of with the U.S. women’s basketball team.

Breanna Stewart scored 17 points and the United States raced out to an early lead to put away Canada 83-43, advancing to the gold-medal game of the World Cup for the fourth consecutive tournament.

China is trying to end a 28-year medal drought at the Word Cup since finishing second in the 1994 games.

The U.S. women’s basketball team will have a lot of new faces when the Americans play in the FIBA World Cup next month in Australia.

Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks each scored 23 points to steer a third fourth-quarter comeback victory in the series by the Memphis Grizzlies, who eliminated the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 114-106 victory in Game 6.

A’ja Wilson wishes that she and her USA Basketball teammates could do more to help Brittney Griner right now.

Angel McCoughtry is heading to Minnesota and Briann January is going to Seattle for her final season in the WNBA.

No team has been playing better than Minnesota the past few weeks as the WNBA enters its monthlong Olympic break.

George Floyd was killed less than three miles from the stadium where the Minnesota Vikings play, so this global unrest over racial relations and justice hit awfully close to home for the team. (Brian Peterson/Star Tribune via AP)MINNEAPOLIS Eric Kendricks woke up distressed shortly after George Floyd was killed just a few miles from the stadium where the Minnesota Vikings play. Commissioner Roger Goodell issued an apology the day after for not listening earlier and encouraged players to speak up and peacefully protest. For the Vikings, like their fellow Twin Cities sports figures, the death of Floyd hit close to home. Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell marched with protesters in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, where the death of Breonna Taylor has also stirred uprising.
