Top-seeded Lynx face elimination after home playoff loss

The Lynx lost 91-75 at home to New York, with Breanna Stewart scoring 34 points as Minnesota struggled with foul trouble, turnovers, and stagnant offense. The No. 1 seed faces an elimination game Tuesday, even as Olivia Miles’ Rookie of the Year award and Cheryl Reeve’s Coach of the Year honor underscore the team’s strong regular season.
