After this night I was lucky to get a 2017 team signed #Lynx ball, streamers that fell on the court after Game 5 of the Finals and a #WNBA championship ring. All still places atop my bookshelf with other sports items.
What a year that was, and an absolute blast to be a part of.

I still don't really remember the #Lynx post-game trophy ceremony while trying to not only push out content immediately, but also trying to capture the moments on the court.
Here's one video of Minnesota's post-game ceremony after defeating LA in the winner-take-all Game 5:

Here is what the energy and atmosphere was like before Game 5 inside of Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota, where the #Lynx held their home playoff games in 2017 due to Target Center renovations.

As seen on Napheesa Collier’s Instagram story, she is on a scooter after suffering her ankle injury in Game 3. Both Collier and DiJonai Carrington are out with left ankle injuries.
I’d imagine we’ll find out more about Collier’s ankle when Eric Thibault speaks to media before Game 4.
