Sun spoil Caitlin Clark’s playoff debut; Lynx take Game 1 against Phoenix despite blowing 23-point lead; Aces start bid for three-peat by shutting down Seattle
New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart shoots a layup during the second half of a WNBA basketball first-round playoff game against the Atlanta Dream on Sept. 22 in New York.
The Liberty — who made each of their first six field-goal attempts, including four 3-pointers — jumped to a 13-4 lead. Allisha Gray was fouled on a jumper and hit the and-1 free throw to cut Atlanta’s deficit to four with 5:33 left in the first quarter, but the Liberty scored the next 14 points — the final seven by Sabrina Ionescu — to take an 18-point lead.
Game 2 is Wednesday night in Connecticut with a potential decisive third game in Indiana on Friday night if necessary. Kahleah Copper scored five points in a 10-2 run and her 3-pointer followed by two free throws by Brittney Griner gave seventh-seeded Phoenix its first lead since scoring the first four points of the game. Natasha Cloud’s layup put the Mercury on top 92-91 with 2:06 left to play, but Myisha Hines-Allen answered with a layup and Bridget Carleton hit a 3-pointer in a 9-0 spurt to pull out the victory.
