New York LibertyvsPhoenix Mercury
NY 94/PHX 92
Things to say
New York Liberty edged the Phoenix Mercury 94-92 on the road.
01
opener
Liberty snuck out of Phoenix with a 94-92 win. Came right down to the wire. New York just had a little more in the tank late.
02
key player
Sabrina Ionescu was the best player on the floor, easy. 27 and 10 dimes, and she had ice in her veins down the stretch.
03
hot take
Phoenix at 11-19 is just wasting DeWanna Bonner. She dropped 25 and 7 and still took the L.
04
deep cut
Stewie quietly grabbed 11 boards and ate them up in the paint all night. Nobody talks about it but that's why New York's real.
05
exit
Liberty are rolling at 17-13. I'm just watching to see if anybody in the East can actually slow them down.
The recap
Liberty went into Phoenix and grabbed a nail-biter, 94-92. Sabrina Ionescu ran the whole show with 27 points and a cool 10 dimes, straight-up ate them up when it mattered.
Bonner did her thing for the Mercury with 25 and 7, but it wasn't enough to get over the hump. Phoenix takes another tough L and drops to 11-19 while New York keeps rolling at 17-13.
