Jones, Stewart lead New York to first WNBA Finals in 21 years with 87-84 win over Connecticut

Associated Press  

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones have New York back in the WNBA Finals for the first time in more than two decades. Two of the Liberty’s big offseason acquisitions came up big for the Liberty to help them reach the championship round for the first time since 2002 with an 87-84 win over Connecticut on Sunday in Game 4 of the semifinals. It was a process for us to get to this level now and I think it’s going to be a great series.” Stewart, who came over from Seattle in the offseason and earned her second regular season MVP award, led New York with 27 points and Betnijah Laney added 21 in the clincher of the best-of-five series. The New York fans chanted “MVP” as she sank two foul shots on her next trip down the court.
