The New York Liberty edged out the Phoenix Mercury 94-92 in a nail-biter, with Sabrina Ionescu torching the scoreboard for 27 points and 10 assists while Han Xu exploded off the bench with 17. Jonquel Jones battled foul trouble to score 16, including half in the clutch fourth quarter, and Breanna Stewart added a double-double. The Liberty were flawless from the line, hitting all 19 free throws. Phoenix’s DeWanna Bonner and Kahleah Copper each scored 25, with Bonner hitting a career milestone in her 565th game. Down eight with 1 minute left, Phoenix clawed back to tie it on Copper’s free throws and Bonner’s three with 24 seconds left — but the Liberty held on after a late foul sent Stewart to the line, sealing the win as the Mercury’s final shot fell short.
