Streaking Liberty following Stewart’s lead
New York looks for eighth straight win at Barclays Center
It’s easy to play follow the leader when the woman in front is likely to be the Most Valuable Player of the WNBA this season.
Fresh off earning her sixth Player of the Week award and third Player of the Month honor, Breanna Stewart will lead the New York Liberty back into action against Los Angeles Thursday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
In search of their season-high eighth straight victory, the Liberty (31-7) are still marveling at Stewart’s latest epic performance, a 40-point, 10-rebound effort in Dallas Tuesday night that moved her ahead of Diana Taurasi on the league’s all-time single-season scoring list.
