The intense battle reached a boiling point in the final seconds of regulation, where controversy struck.<\/p><p>The Liberty, trailing by two, struggled to execute their inbound pass under heavy pressure. Breanna Stewart managed to receive the ball, briefly losing control before recovering. Amid what looked like a possible travel, Stewart drew a foul from Alanna Smith, putting the outcome of the game into the hands of the officials.<\/p><p>Minnesota immediately challenged the foul, prompting an extended review as the stakes could not have been higher. After careful consideration, the officials stood by the call, rejecting the Lynx&rsquo;s challenge and sending Stewart to the free throw line.<\/p><p>Having missed two critical free throws just moments earlier, Stewart calmly sank both, forcing the game into overtime. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With the Lynx up by 2 points and 5 seconds left in the game, a foul was called on Alanna Smith<br><br>The Lynx challenged the call but it was unsuccessful.
