New York Liberty escape Dallas Wings with ugly 79-71 win

Though Leonie Fiebich returned to the lineup, Sabrina Ionescu (neck) was still missing from the New York Liberty in the second game of their mini-series with the Dallas Wings at home, on the wrong end of a game-time decision for the second straight game.

On Tuesday, the Liberty won by 20 anyway, powered by a vintage Courtney Vandersloot performance and typical dominance from the Breanna Stewart + Jonquel Jones front-court. Those two combined for 49 points and 24 boards while being largely responsible for Dallas shooting just 10-of-28 in the paint, rendering all those Wings bigs ineffective.
