DiJonai Carrington sparks key run as Minnesota Lynx defeat New York Liberty in WNBA Finals rematch

Alanna Smith -- coming off a monster 25-point game Friday night against the Washington Mystics -- stuffed the boxscore: eight points, nine rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three blocks. Her defensive presence and ability to stretch the floor -- including her fourth-quarter three that pushed the Lynx lead to 16 -- was vital, especially as the team played its third straight game without MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier, who remains sidelined with a sprained right ankle.
