Tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 16) is game three of the WNBA Finals, and the Minnesota Lynx are chasing their fifth WNBA Championship! The Lynx will face off against the New York Liberty at Target Center to try and take the lead in the 1-1 series. In game one, the Lynx rallied to overcome an 18-point deficit to win 95-93 in overtime but the Liberty won game two 80-66.

Part of the Lynx’s home court tradition is to do a victory dance after a win. Let’s cheer on the home team and get them one step closer to championship number five by putting together some jams for their (hopefully) upcoming wins.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs would sound great on the Lynx’s home court victory dance playlist?
