With the New York Liberty battling the Minnesota Lynx in an WNBA Finals replay on Wednesday night, it's pitting the top two teams in the league against one another. It also might be filled with highlight-reel plays from Liberty stars like Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones.

Laughter rippled through the arena, especially among several attendees wearing “Stewart walked” shirts. Nine months after their 2024 WNBA Finals showdown — and a controversial overtime Game 5 loss coach Cheryl Reeve said was “stolen” from her team — Lynx fans were more than ready for the rematch.

When last we saw the Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty together on the court nine months ago, it was Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA finals, a contest where a late traveling non-call followed by a questionable defensive foul went against the Lynx and the title went to New York.
