Minnesota at New York

The posted total for Game 2 is a little higher based on Thursday's 95-93 overtime win by Minnesota, which shot 51 percent and hit nine of 22 3-pointers. New York shot only 38 percent but took 19 more shots. Look for the Liberty to clamp down defensively because they can't afford to go Minnesota down 2-0 and the Lynx figure to cool off somewhat against some defensive adjustments. The Lynx were #2 in the WNBA defensively in the regular season allowing 75.6 points per game and they led the league in defending the 3-pointer allowing just 30.1 percent. New York was #3 in scoring defense giving up 76.4 points and 32.4 percent from 3-point distance. Take the UNDER.
