Indiana Fever once again got out to a better start, making Minnesota trail for the whole game.

Lynx managed to tie the game a couple of times and close it down to one possession, but getting their noses in front was all but impossible. Biggest part of the problem for Minnesota was the cold as hell night for Seimone Augustus, who finished 3 from 21 from the field. That’s a combined 6 from 30 since the Fever put Briann January on Augustus before game 3.

Tamika Catchings was named the MVP of the Finals. She was the one who hit the big shots when the Fever were having trouble making shots and Minnesota started closing in.

Lynx: Whalen 22, Moore 16, Brunson 8
Fever: Catchings 25, Phillips 18, January 15, Zellous 15
Indiana wins the series 3-1.
