The Minnesota Lynx erased two double-digit deficits and beat the New York Liberty last night in overtime to win game one of the best-of-five WNBA championship series 95-93.  Napheesa Collier hit the game winning shot with 8 seconds to go in the extra period.

Drivers in the south metro will need to navigate a major freeway closure this weekend.  MnDOT says stretches of both directions of Interstate 494 in Bloomington will be closed from 10 o’clock tonight through 5 o'clock Monday morning.  For eastbound drivers, 494 will be closed between Highway 100 and Highway 77. For the westbound lanes, it’s between Interstate 35-W and Highway 100.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
