Stewart went for 36 and made it look easy. She was getting buckets from everywhere.

Minnesota's got the better record but they looked a step slow tonight. Best team in the league, my foot.

Jonquel Jones quietly grabbed 15 boards. They owned the paint all night and nobody's talking about it.

Anyway, these two are gonna see each other again. Rematch is gonna be a war.
The recap
Liberty took care of business at home, knocking off the league-best Lynx 99-86. Breanna Stewart was the whole show with 36, just an absolute clinic putting the ball in the bucket all night.
Jonquel Jones ate them up on the glass with 15 boards and Sabrina ran the offense clean, so once New York pulled away Minnesota never had an answer. Kayla McBride's 18 was the only real fight the Lynx put up, and it wasn't close to enough.
