Breanna Stewart scored 20 of her 34 points in the first half and Sabrina Ionescu hit two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to finish with 21.

Breanna Stewart had 34 points in New York's Game 1 win over the Aces, continuing her goal of making up for what she said were a subpar performance in last year's playoffs.

Nearly a year after they watched the Las Vegas Aces celebrate on their own court, the New York Liberty began to exact their revenge, coming away with an 87-77 win to take Game 1 of the WNBA semi-finals.
