The New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime of a winner-take-all Game Five showdown in Brooklyn to secure their first WNBA title on Sunday, a year after falling short in the championship round for a fifth time.

The win gave the city of New York its first basketball title since 1973 when the Knicks won the NBA championship.

Hoisting of the trophy concludes an epic series between the league’s top two teams where 5.2 points was the average margin of victory, including a Lynx overtime win in Game 1, Sabrina Ionescu’s long 3 in Game 3 for New York and Carleton’s two late free throws in Game 4 to tie the series.
