Breanna Stewart had 34 points, 12 rebounds and six assists as the New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx 91-75 in Sunday's playoff game. ESPN's broadcast showed Olivia Miles foul Stewart with about 8:19 left and appear to engage her; the exchange was unclear.
Stewart made one of two free throws after the foul, putting New York ahead 69-62. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said Minnesota fouled too often and called fouling late in the shot clock “not smart”; the Lynx committed 23 personal fouls to the Liberty's 20. New York shot 51% from the field and 52% on three-pointers, compared with Minnesota's 42% and 35%.
Game 2 is set for Tuesday in New York. Minnesota must win to keep the series alive for a third game, according to the article.
