The New York Liberty have two mega-stars in Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart. However in Sport 2 of the WNBA Finals, it has been Betnijah
Laney-Hamilton lighting it up.
Laney-Hamilton had 13 factors within the first half of the Liberty’s WNBA Finals matchup with the Minnesota Lynx Sunday, then scored New York’s first 4 factors of the second half. It is a large effort from the Liberty’s veteran, who battled knee issues this season that saved her out for seven weeks.
She had a quiet Sport 1, scoring simply 5 factors, although she did hit a three-pointer to offer the Liberty a 15-point lead with 5:20 to go. However these have been her final factors of the sport, and the Liberty would rating solely two extra within the fourth quarter.
Laney-Hamilton’s early bucket-getting Sunday was big for a New York staff that did not get any scoring from Stewart or Ionescu for the primary 8:36 of the third quarter. Whereas she’s primarily identified for her protection, Laney-Hamilton picked the right time to hit her excessive rating for any playoff sport this yr.
The Liberty headed into the fourth quarter with a 61-53 lead.
