The New York Liberty held off the Minnesota Lynx in Game 2 of the WNBA finals on Sunday afternoon, weathering another dogged comeback before pulling away for a 80-66 win that leveled the best-of-five championship series at one game apiece.
Three days after blowing an 18-point lead in a stunning Game 1 overtime loss, New York led from wire to wire behind Breanna Stewart, who finished with 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a WNBA finals-record seven steals. The Liberty also got 20 points from Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, who bounced back from a quiet five-point effort on Thursday.
