At their best, the Liberty built a 17-point lead. <\/p>\n
Sabrina Ionescu hit 29- and 30-foot 3-pointers. <\/p>\n
Their work-in-progress offense found some fluidity \u2014 some normalcy \u2014 even as Courtney Vandersloot sat on the bench, out with back tightness.<\/p>\n
But at their worst, the Liberty allowed the Mystics to gradually chip away their sizable deficit and take the lead in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n
Breanna Stewart shot 4-for-13 from the field \u2014 and 0-for-4 on 3-pointers \u2014 and Ionescu managed just 24 points after a 15-point opening frame. <\/p>\n
That was still enough to escape with a 90-79 win Friday night at Barclays Center, but the Liberty\u2019s sixth victory of the season and second in a row was an underwhelming one against the winless Mystics. <\/p>\n
Stewart and Jonquel Jones both finished with double-doubles, while Kayla Thornton, starting in place of Vandersloot,\u00a0finished with 20 points, her most in a game since August 2022.<\/p>\n
The dagger came from Thornton, too. <\/p>\n
She was an under-the-radar signing by the Liberty ahead of last season, someone who came off the bench and didn\u2019t generate the same spotlight that the rest of the superteam did. <\/p>\n
But with Vandersloot out, Thornton made her first start since 2022 and hit a critical 3 with 2:06 remaining after Washington cut the Liberty\u2019s deficit to four. <\/p>\n
The Mystics didn\u2019t get closer than that again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
