Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 3, 2026

The market total of 173.5 proved too conservative early, as New York and Minnesota combined for 48 points in the first quarter and never looked back. The Liberty led 26–22 after one, but the second quarter became the real offensive showcase: the two teams poured in 60 combined points, reaching 108 for the half and putting the eventual over firmly in play by intermission. Minnesota's offensive engine—led by Kayla McBride's 18 points, Courtney Williams' 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Olivia Miles' 14 points with 5 assists—kept the Lynx competitive, but it wasn't enough to overcome New York's firepower.

Breanna Stewart dominated for Liberty, dropping a game-high 36 points with 7 rebounds, while Sabrina Ionescu added 17 points and 6 assists and Jonquel Jones contributed 14 points and a team-leading 15 boards. The second half saw the pace slow considerably: just 77 combined points across the final two quarters, with the third quarter dropping to only 35 combined. New York ultimately won 99–86, giving the game a combined 185 points—11.5 above the opener. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under missed, but a live adjustment paid off, catching the early offensive rhythm before the momentum cooled in the back half.
