Just like Game 1, New York built a double-digit lead in the first half, only to see it evaporate. This time the Liberty didn’t completely collapse.
New York Liberty's Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, front right, reacts after shooting a 3-point basket during the first half in Game 2 of a WNBA basketball final playoff series against the Minnesota Lynx, Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, in New York. With the Minnesota Lynx making another fourth quarter run, the two-time league MVP refused to let the New York Liberty lose again.and had a WNBA Finals record seven steals to help the Liberty beat the Lynx 80-66 on Sunday in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals.
Minnesota was down nine early in the fourth before getting within 68-66 on Courtney Williams' layup with 3:40 left in the game. Those were the last points Minnesota would score. Laney-Hamilton finished with 20 points, hitting key shots for the team throughout the game as well as being a defensive stopper. She missed more than a month after injuring her right knee before the Olympic break. She’s still been working her way back.
Once again the game drew a sellout crowd of 18,040 that included Jennifer Hudson, Katie Couric, Fat Joe and UConn coach Geno Auriemma. It was the largest crowd ever for the Liberty at Barclays.
