Lynx win their first Commissioner's Cup Championship....94-89

I have no idea what that is or why it is a thing.

Doesn't the NBA have some mid season thing that also means nothing? I think the Lakers won it this past year proving it means nothing whatsoever.

WCCO did a short pc on it this AM, so I looked it up.........................Not only do the Lynx get to claim the Commissioner's Cup trophy, they'll also go home with a solid pay day.

The winners of the Commissioner's Cup are awarded $500,000, about one-third of the WNBA salary cap. With 12 players on a WNBA roster, each player will get around $41,000, and the MVP of the game — Collier — gets an additional $5,000. Coinbase, the sponsor of the Commissioner's Cup, added $120,000 in cryptocurrency to the prize pool so every player on each team will get $5,000, so there's some prize for the Liberty. That's a pretty nice bonus to those players as they're not paid anywhere near what the men are.

Yeah, all they hype this year was about Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese and there wasn't much focus on the Lynx having a pretty good season.
