Stewart breaks WNBA scoring record
MVP front-runner leads Liberty to seventh straight win
Breanna Stewart came to Brooklyn this past offseason with one purpose: helping the New York Liberty grab their first-ever WNBA championship.
Though the franchise’s chase for that thus-far elusive title won’t begin until the playoffs start kick off this month, the dynamic forward may have just wrapped up her second career WNBA Most Valuable Player award.
Stewart poured in 40 points and ripped down 10 rebounds en route to breaking the league’s all-time single-season scoring record Tuesday night in Dallas, lifting the red-hot Liberty to their season-high seventh straight win, 94-93, in front of 4,195 fans at College Park Center.
