New York Liberty hold off Minnesota Lynx in overtime to win first WNBA title

• New York beat Minnesota 67-62 in Game 5 of finals
• Liberty win first title in franchise's 28-year history
• WNBA finals Game 5 - as it happened

The New York Liberty are WNBA champions for the first time in their 28-year history after coming from behind to defeat the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime on Sunday night in a heart-stopping winner-take-all Game 5 of the finals.

Jonquel Jones scored 17 points to lead New York on a night when her teammates Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu struggled mightily on the offensive end, combining for 5-of-34 shooting from the floor. The Liberty became the first men's or women's basketball team from New York to raise a banner since the ABA's Nets back in 1976, sending a sellout crowd of 18,090 fans into a state of bedlam at the buzzer.
