After a resounding 92-75 win in Game 3, L.A. entered Sunday night with the chance to win their first championship since 2002. The Lynx hoped to replicate their Game 2 performance and send the series back to Minnesota. In the end it was 31 points from Maya Moore that propelled Minnesota to an 85-79 victory, and kept their season alive. It also set up a winner-take-all Game 5 scheduled for Thursday at 8 PM ET.

Relive the action through the social media lens as this series will go the distance:
