Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty results, highlights: Liberty take over late to beat Fever
The Indiana Fever are back to .500 after a 98-84 loss to the New York Liberty. Kelsey Mitchell scores 29 points, Aliyah Boston 15 with 12 rebounds, and Sophie Cunningham has 15 points on 5-of-8 3-pointers. Indiana gets just 7 points from its bench, all by Lexie Hull.
The Fever were without star Caitlin Clark again after she suffered a right groin injury. It was the 12th overall game she has missed this season. Indiana is now 12-12 and sits in sixth place in the WNBA standings, with the top eight qualifying for the playoffs.
Williams' sterling shooting night—and perhaps a mile-wide free throw discrepancy—was enough for the Minnesota Lynx to withstand a furious rally from the shorthanded Liberty, which dropped another WNBA Finals rematch by an 86-80 final on Saturday afternoon at Target Center.
Amid a hectic schedule and a boatload of injuries, the Liberty needed a win on Tuesday night. And they got it.
With the New York Liberty at her side, head coach Sandy Brondello made history in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, leading the team to a 105-97 victory over the Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. The win marked Brondello's 101st with the franchise, surpassing Richie Adubato to become the Liberty's all-time winningest coach, breaking a record for 25 years.
