After two games light on free throws, Phoenix shot 18-for-22 from the line, the Lynx 10-for-11. Minnesota finished 30-for-71 (42.3%) shooting from the field and 6-for-24 from three, while the Mercury shot 30-for-65 (46.2%) and six-for-18 from beyond the arc.
Hiedeman, who had been held to zero shot attempts in the Lynx’s loss in Game 2, was seven-for-12 on Sunday, scoring her 19 points in just under 23 minutes.
If Phoenix again defends home court in Game 4 on Sunday, it books its first trip to the WNBA Finals since 2021, when it lost to the Chicago Sky.
