The Liberty is one game away from securing a spot in the WNBA Finals.
UNCASVILLE, Conn. — If the final three quarters Tuesday provided signs that the Liberty’s stumbling offense might be awakening, then their first quarter Friday night made any lingering doubts seem foolish.The Sun still trimmed their 22-point lead to nine before the third quarter ended.
By the time Breanna Stewart blocked a shot, tore up the court in transition and finished an and-one with 20 seconds remaining in the opening frame, the Liberty led by 21. Still, they needed to withstand Connecticut’s comeback in the second half, but Breanna Stewart topped 20 points for the first time this series , Betnijah Laney scored 20 for the second consecutive game and Jonquel Jones added a double-double.
