NEW YORK (AP) — Jonquel Jones and the New York Liberty wouldn't let the season end just yet.
She scored 27 points and Breanna Stewart added 20 to help the New York Liberty beat the Las Vegas Aces 87-73 on Sunday in the WNBA Finals and force a Game 4.
“She was huge for us,” Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said of Jones, who came to the Liberty in a trade in the offseason.
BIG APPLE BASKETBALL IS BACKThis was the first WNBA Finals game in New York since 2002, when the Liberty were swept by the Sparks.
No New York basketball team in either the NBA or WNBA has made it that far since.
