On August 23, the WNBA regular season continued with the Liberty hosting the Wings for the second time in three days. The Liberty, who have the best home record, narrowly defeated the Wings, who have the worst away record, 79-71 thanks to an excellent performance in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter.
Three days ago, the Liberty sealed the game early in the fourth quarter. This match was a much tighter affair, with the Wings even taking the lead at one point in the fourth quarter. However, in the final five minutes, the Liberty’s fierce defense and counterattacks allowed them to continuously score and eventually pull away to secure the win.
Jones sat out this game due to injury, while Stewart’s performance was erratic. Stewart had a particularly inefficient stretch where she only made 2 of 12 shots. However, entering the fourth quarter, Stewart regained her form, contributing both assists and consecutive scores, especially after the Wings took the lead, playing a pivotal role.
In the entire game, Stewart shot 5 for 18, scoring 19 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, providing 6 assists, and making 3 steals. She missed all three of her three-point attempts but made 9 of 11 free throws.
Jones contributed 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Feibish and Thornton both scored 16 points.
