Fans Accuse WNBA Of Rigging Finals After Seeing Commissioner’s Outfit - Athlon Sports

I believe game 5 of the WNBA Finals to be "rigged" as the refs allowed the New York Liberty to win their first ever Finals. The controversial call happened late in the 4th quarter when New York Liberty Foward Breanna Stewart appeared to travel and then was fouled and sent to the line with 5 seconds left. There did not appear to be any contact with the shot and there was no replay by the refs. This allowed New York to tie the game and win in overtime.
