Their focus now is fine-tuning before the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>The Lynx have been the league\u2019s dominant force all year, but with the <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/new-york-liberty\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Liberty<\/a> stumbling, the <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/atlanta-dream\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atlanta Dream<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/globelynews.com\/tag\/las-vegas-aces\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas Aces<\/a> have surged, threatening to challenge Minnesota\u2019s supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>The race to the finals is no longer just a two-team race.
