Preview: Indiana routed the Lynx 76-59 in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. Since 2005, when the best-of-three format was adopted, three teams have trailed 2-1 and won the league championship. Detroit in 2006 and Phoenix in 2007 and in 2009, the second time against Indiana.
