The New York Liberty are heading back to the WNBA Finals for the second consecutive year after winning Game 4 against the Las Vegas Aces, 76-62, on Sunday
The highly anticipated Game 4 was a must-win situation for the defending champion Aces, who were down 2-1 in the best-of-five semifinals. However, New York had a controlling fourth quarter in this game to secure the series for them. New York was led by guard Sabrina Ionescu, who scored 22 points with seven rebounds, and forward Breanna Stewart, who had a double-double, including 19 points and 14 rebounds.
The Aces came out stronger to start the second quarter with two straight 3-pointers. The Liberty adjusted by tightening up their defense, not letting the Aces get easy looks from the perimeter. However, Liberty rookie Leonie Fiebich and center Jonquel Jones both got into foul trouble, picking up their third fouls of the game in just the second quarter. They both headed to the bench, which took a toll on New York’s defense, allowing the Aces to go on a 7-2 run to end the half.
