NEW YORK — Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve didn’t hold back in her postgame news conference after Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Sunday, a 67-62 overtime win for New York that brought the Liberty its first title in franchise history.

The Liberty-Lynx series had been incredibly tight throughout the Finals. The margin of victory was tiny — less than five points in multiple games — and every basket and foul call counted. Late in Game 5, the Lynx were seemingly on the verge of locking up the franchise’s fifth championship when two fouls were called on the Lynx.
