LOS ANGELES -- Midway through the first quarter, Maya Moore was looking in her teammates eyes, searching for clues as to how the game would go.She could see their passion and resolve.I knew we were going to fight, she said.Moore scored 31 points and Minnesotas defense held Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker in check to help the Lynx beat the Los Angeles Sparks 85-79 on Sunday night and force a decisive fifth game in the WNBA Finals.Every possession was so crucial and we just made more of them, Moore said.Lindsay Whalen added 13 points, Seimone Augustus had 12 and Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 13 rebounds in tying the series 2-2 and sending it back to Minneapolis, where the Lynx will try to win their record-tying fourth championship on Thursday.This is what a Finals game should look like, Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said. Both teams leaving it all on the floor.Ogwumike, the league MVP, scored 11 points on 5 of 10 shooting, while two-time MVP Parker scored 14 points and made 6 of 7 free throws for the Sparks, who were trying to close out their first title since 2002 in front of their fans at Staples Center.Chelsea Gray led the Sparks with 20 points off the bench.

Its just the ability to play with poise down the stretch.The teams traded baskets and Minnesota led 79-77. Parker was called for a shooting foul on Rebekkah Brunson, who made both free throws for an 81-77 lead. Before Parker fouled Brunson, it appeared that Minnesota hadnt gotten the ball across halfcourt in time to avoid an 8-second violation. Replays suggested the ball was still in the backcourt when the shot clock was at 16.I think they forgot they had to get the ball over the line, Toliver said. But thats life. We cant leave it up to the officials to determine a series. We have to go take it.With 42 seconds left, Whalen lost the ball to Ogwumike. At the Sparks end, Brunson stole it from Parker, who ended up getting whistled for the foul.I had it at one point and after that I didnt see what happened because I think I was on the floor, Whalen said. It was kind of a wild play.Moore stole an inbounds pass and Ogwumike fouled her with 4 seconds left. Moore made both to close out the win, missing just one of her 12 free throw attempts.We fought today, Ogwumike said. When it comes to focus and awareness, we can sharpen up there. Were going to fight again.The Lynx scored six in a row to take their largest lead, 52-42, early in the third, which ended in a 3-point contest.
