Liberty strike back with Game 2 win
Hold off Connecticut to even WNBA semifinals at 1-1
Breanna Stewart found out before Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals that she had been named Most Valuable Player of the league.
But as her shooting struggles in this best-of-5 series continued, Sabrina Ionescu and Betnijah Laney made sure the Liberty would head back to Connecticut with a 1-1 tie.
Ionescu scored 21 points and Laney added 20 Tuesday night as New York pulled even with an 84-77 triumph in front of 10,009 relieved fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
