The Liberty find themselves with a golden opportunity to move into the second round of the WNBA Playoffs after a grueling 76-69 road win in overtime on Sunday. After a very fast-paced second quarter that was won 30-27 by the Mercury, the Liberty tightened the screws defensively, allowing just 26 total points in the second and overtime combined.

Offensively, New York got what they needed from their stars, with Natasha Cloud leading the team, scoring 23 points to go with six rebounds, five assists, and four steals. Breanna Stewart added 18 points, six rebounds, and four assists, with Sabrino Ionescu playing a team-high 42:59, scoring 16 points with six rebounds and seven assists.

If the Mercury are going to force a Game 3, they’ll have to figure out the Liberty defense that held them to a paltry 32.5% from the field and 23.1% from the 3-point line. Those numbers, while poor, cratered further when looking at just the second half, where the Mercury shot an abysmal 20.7% from the field and 18.2% from the 3-point line.
