Minnesota set for road matchup with the Sun

Minnesota Lynx (30-10, 14-6 Western Conference) at Connecticut Sun (28-12, 14-6 Eastern Conference)

Jackie Young's 24 points and Aces' 16-point run staves off elimination in 95-81 win over Liberty

— On the verge of elimination, the Aces showed Friday night as the two-time defending WNBA champions they weren't ready to go quietly.

Napheesa Collier scores 26 to help Lynx top Sun 90-81 and take 2-1 lead in semifinal series

— After struggling in the last game offensively, Napheesa Collier wasn't going to let it happen again.
