The Minnesota Lynx Win Their Third WNBA Title in 5 Seasons

Amidst the excitement of post season, albeit extra round, baseball, the Minnesota Lynx won the WNBA crown for the third time in five seasons (2011,2013 and 2015), in the decisive fifth game vs the Indiana Fever.

It was an easy win for the Lynx in the decisive game but otherwise it was a close series with the big underdog, Fever winning two close games, while the other two Lynx wins were also in close contests.

Minnesota is coached by Cheryl Reeve and have some fine players including Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles, an in season acquisition, who was the final’s MVP.

There is a great history of NBA associated champions in Minnesota as the Lakers (ever wonder how they got their name, as there are no lakes in Los Angeles) won five titles in six seasons from (1949-1954).

While the Lynx won their two previous titles on the road before this year’s title clinching home win, the Minneapolis Lakers clinched 4 of their 5 titles at home.
