The WNBA Finals are all tied up.
The New York Liberty bounced back from their Game 1 overtime defeat to the Minnesota Lynx, winning Game 2, 80-66, on Sunday.
The best-of-five series now heads to Minnesota for the next two games.
Despite being the road team, the Liberty are favored to win Game 3 by 1.5 points (-108) and are -128 on the moneyline.
Just as it did in Game 1, New York built a double-digit lead in Game 2 before Minnesota pulled within two points with 5:36 left to play. However, the Liberty outscored the Lynx 14-2 over the remainder of the game to crucially even the series.
MVP candidate Breanna Stewart dropped a game-high 21 points, while forward Betnijah Laney-Hamilton scored 20 points to propel New York to victory.
