Lynx Sweep Mercury, Advance To 3rd Straight Finals
PHOENIX (AP) — Maya Moore scored 27 points, Seimone Augustus had 22, and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Phoenix Mercury 72-65 Sunday to advance to the WNBA Finals for the third straight year with a sweep in the best-of-three Western Conference finals.
Minnesota will open the finals on Friday at home against Atlanta, which completed its sweep of Indiana earlier Sunday.
Diana Taurasi had 21 points for Phoenix, but was 6 of 21 from the field. Candice Dupree added 17 points, while No. 1 draft pick Brittney Griner was held to six points and 10 rebounds.
Minnesota beat Phoenix 85-62 in Game 1 on Thursday.
The Lynx swept Atlanta in the 2011 finals and lost to Indiana in four games last season.
