A dominant final stretch allowed the New York Liberty to etch their name on the WNBA playoff bracket.
The New York Liberty inched one step closer to the WNBA's jackpot in Las Vegas on Saturday late afternoon.
But defense proved to be the name of the game for the Liberty after a troubling opening period: Las Vegas hit each of its first five tries from three-point range and shot 60 percent from the floor while building a lead that got as high as 11. The Aces' biggest threat to the Liberty lead was a pair of triples from Kiah Stokes and Chelsea Gray shortly before the midway mark of the final period, two that turned a 10-point lead into a four-point hang-on in mere seconds. From there, though, the Liberty scored a dozen in a row, the effort opened by a Leonie Fiebich triple. That closed New York's scoring and secured their sixth consecutive victory, extending the WNBA's longest active winning streak.
