As the clock ticked under two minutes to play in Saturday's WNBA Finals rematch, the Minnesota Lynx trailed the New York Liberty by one and needed someone to make a play. Courtney Williams , never afraid of the moment, stepped forward.
Williams got the 6-foot-4 Leonie Fiebich -- a strong defender but not as quick as the Lynx guard -- on a switch and drove left, then stopped on a dime as if she was going up for one of her patented mid-range jumpers, which she had been killing the Liberty with all afternoon. Instead, she pump-faked Fiebich out of the way, stepped through and swished a floater to give the Lynx a one-point lead of their own.
The Lynx never trailed again and pulled away in the final minute for an 86-80 win, their sixth in a row and third over the Liberty this season.
