What happened: The New York Liberty defeated the Indiana Fever 83–75 on Saturday night at Barclays Center, overcoming a 12-point deficit to secure their fourth consecutive win. Breanna Stewart led the charge with a game-high 30 points, scoring 23 in the second half to fuel the comeback.
Why it matters: The victory moves New York to a 7–4 record as they keep pace in a highly competitive WNBA season that now includes expansion squads in Toronto and Golden State. The Liberty’s ability to grind out a win without star guard Sabrina Ionescu (back soreness) underscores their depth and resilience in the pursuit of a top seed.
By the numbers: Stewart set a New York Jonquel Jones anchored the interior with 12 rebounds, including 8 in the decisive fourth quarter, as New York out-rebounded Indiana 47–41.
What to watch: New York continues its home stand as the league shifts focus to Commissioner's Cup play, while Indiana looks to bounce back from the loss behind Caitlin Clark's 9-assist performance.
