After Collier led the Minnesota Lynx to a win in Game 1, Stewart delivered 21 points and seven steals as the New York Liberty won Sunday's Game 2.
Sunday’s Game 2 wasn’t full-blown revenge, but Stewart upheld her post-Game 1 pledge that “we’ll be ready.” She scored a game-high 21 points and tallied eight rebounds, five assists, one block, and a whopping seven steals in New York’s 80-66 win.“Yeah, absolutely, just not letting history repeat itself,” Stewart said after grabbing three of those steals in the fourth quarter.
Stewart praised her teammate: “What she brings is this grit, this toughness, and all of us know she’s giving us whatever she’s got. The way that she continued to be aggressive, they were going under on her and she knocked that thing down with confidence.”A sellout crowd of 18,046 at the Barclays Center that included Jennifer Hudson, Fat Joe, Geno Auriemma, and C. Vivian Stringer was understandably on edge for most of the afternoon.
Leonie Fiebich’s steal and three-pointer put the Liberty up 75-66 with 1:30 left, cutting the tension in the crowd once and for all. An explosion of noise greeted the ball as it fell through the net. Two Lynx misses later, Stewart iced the cake with a putback layup through traffic.There may have been some “scramble defense,” as Liberty coach Sandy Brondello called it, but she nailed her own shot when she added, “We’re down 1-0, so, you know, we should be playing like that.
