J.Nelson1 days ago

NEW YORK — Jonquel Jones had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and New York used stellar defense in the fourth quarter to beat the Minnesota Lynx 76-67. Breanna Stewart added 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Liberty in a rematch of the Commissioner's Cup championship game that was won by the Lynx a week ago. New York trailed 65-61 before clamping down defensively. Minnesota missed 10 shots and had four turnovers over the next 7 1/2 minutes and the Liberty scored 15 consecutive points to go up 74-65 with 1:07 left on two free throws by Sabrina Ionescu. Dorka Juhasz finally ended the drought with a layup with 30 seconds left, but it wasn't enough.
