The Lynx have won four titles -- they came during a seven-season stretch when Minnesota made the Finals six times. The Sun have played in the Finals four times, most recently in 2022, but never won.Wilson vs. Stewart is the marquee matchup. The two superstars have dazzled in the playoffs dating to when Stewart played in Seattle, and they have five MVP awards between them. Wilson has been otherworldly all season, averaging a career-high and WNBA-record 26.9 points and 11.
Both teams have experienced coaches, too: Cheryl Reeve guided the Lynx to all four of their titles and the Sun's Stephanie White was an assistant when Indiana won its title in 2012 and head coach when the Fever were last in the WNBA Finals in 2015. Indiana lost to Reeve and the Lynx that year in five games. White left the WNBA after 2016 to coach collegiately at Vanderbilt, but returned last year with the Sun.
