New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 11, 2026

Sabrina Ionescu's 25 points proved insufficient to lift New York past Minnesota, as the Lynx edged the Liberty 90–85 in a contest that defied pregame expectations and landed squarely on the over side of the 173.5 market total. The combined 175 points exceeded the projection by just 1.5, marking a narrow miss for DAGGER's pregame under call despite a second half that erupted well above the opener's pace.

Minnesota's control of the first half—outscoring New York 42–32 through two quarters—appeared destined for a low-scoring affair, but the second half told a different story. The combined 101 points in the final 24 minutes dwarfed the 74-point first half, with the fourth quarter alone producing 52 combined points. Kayla McBride (25 pts) and Olivia Miles (23 pts) spearheaded Minnesota's offense, while Breanna Stewart (17 pts, 7 reb) and Jonquel Jones (15 pts, 12 reb) anchored New York's effort alongside Ionescu. The Liberty had recently beaten Minnesota 99–86 (total 185) this season, but the Lynx's stout defensive showing early—allowing just 32 first-half points—proved decisive despite the furious late-game push.
