It is back to New York Liberty business for Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu after they were integral components at the Paris Olympics.
Amsterdam News has been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
Two nights later, they pounced on the Las Vegas Aces in another road game, coming away coming with a 79-67 win as Ionescu was the team’s top scorer with 23. The victory over the Aces gave the Liberty the distinction of being the first WNBA team to clinch a playoff spot this season. The Minnesota Lynx were in third at 19-8 and the defending champion Aces, with the world’s best player and MVP frontrunner A’ja Wilson, who was dominant at the Paris Olympics, were fourth at 17-9 before Tuesday’s league schedule.
Ionescu said the players are extremely happy to clinch a spot in the playoffs, but the goal remains continuing to win games in regular season and then succeed in the playoffs. “Obviously, it’s a really long season,” she said. “We’re just kind of getting back into it, but it’s nice to see we’ve been able to pick up where we left off and keep grinding away.”
