Game Recap
New York's visit to Portland in May had finished as a one-possession thriller at 194 combined points—a textbook high-total affair. This rematch played out at a decidedly different pace, with the Liberty dominating throughout and the combined scoring settling at 182, still enough to clear the market total of 174.5 by 7.5 points and deliver DAGGER's pregame over call.
The first half moved methodically, combining for just 76 points across 16 minutes of play. Portland held a narrow edge early, posting 20 in the opening quarter while New York managed 14, but the Liberty seized control in the second, outscoring the Fire 25–17 to lead 39–37 at the break. The second half unlocked the offense. Combined scoring jumped to 106 points, with the third quarter yielding 47 and the fourth exploding for 59—nearly the entire first half's output in a single period. New York pulled away decisively, stretching its lead through the third (31 points) and fourth (30 points) to secure a convincing 100–82 victory.
Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 22 points and 7 rebounds, while Pauline Astier added 20 points off the bench. Rebekah Gardner contributed 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. For Portland, Megan Gustafson logged 14 points and Nyadiew Puoch chipped in 13 in a largely quiet offensive night. The over landed comfortably, though DAGGER's live call during the game came up short.
