New York LibertyvsDallas Wings
NY 99/DAL 98
Things to say
New York Liberty edged the Dallas Wings 99-98 in overtime.
01
opener
Man, that one went to OT and came down to the wire. Liberty stole it 99-98 in Dallas. One-possession game the whole way.
02
key player
Stewart was an absolute clinic — 33, 13, and 8 dimes. That's not a stat line, that's a triple-double flirt in a road OT win.
03
hot take
Arike dropped 29 and still took the L. When your best bucket-getter goes off and you lose, that's on the defense.
04
deep cut
Shepard grabbed 16 boards down low and Dallas still couldn't close it. You out-rebound the room and lose by one? Rough.
05
exit
Anyway, Wings gotta bounce back fast — that OT loss stings way more than a blowout.
The recap
Liberty went into Dallas and stole one by a single bucket, 99-98 in OT, and Breanna Stewart was the whole show — 33 points, 13 boards, 8 dimes, an absolute clinic in a triple-double flirt. Arike ate them up early with 29 and Jessica Shepard was a monster on the glass with 16, but Dallas just couldn't get the dagger to fall when it counted.
Overtime came down to who wanted it, and Stewart had ice in her veins down the stretch. Wings took the L at home and dropped to 17-9, New York walks out with a gutsy road W.
