The trap Liberty know is waiting as they try to close out Lynx

New York secured a commanding 91-75 victory over Minnesota on Sunday in the opening contest of their postseason series. Breanna Stewart led the charge with an impressive performance featuring 34 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks.

Despite sitting just one win away from advancing past the top seed, Stewart and teammate Jonquel Jones cautioned that the upcoming matchup will present a much tougher challenge as their opponents fight to stave off elimination.

Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve and guard Kayla McBride expressed strong confidence in the group's ability to bounce back, pointing to their stellar road record during the regular season. The trailing squad aims to level the series when the action shifts to New York for the next game.
