Stewart Shines, Lynx Miss Chance | Minneapolis News

Breanna Stewart dropped 36 points to lead the New York Liberty to a 99-86 win over Minnesota, stopping Cheryl Reeve from becoming the WNBA’s all-time regular-season wins leader—just as poetic timing as Reeve’s next shot at the record comes exactly 13 years after Mike Thibault set the previous mark. Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu fueled the comeback with 14-15 and 17 points respectively, as New York surged from a one-point deficit in the second quarter to a 10-point halftime lead and never let Minnesota get closer than 12 points. With Napheesa Collier still sidelined and Dorka Juhasz nearing return for the Lynx, and Satou Sabally in concussion protocol but improving for the Liberty, the stage is set for a historic showdown.
