New York Liberty vs Los Angeles Sparks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 28, 2026

New York Liberty won 113–109 over Los Angeles Sparks, a four-point result that masked a wildly uneven scoring distribution across four quarters. The opening period exploded for 66 combined points—a blowout quarter that set the tone long before either team settled. Liberty built early momentum behind Breanna Stewart's 29 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Sabrina Ionescu added 27 points with 7 boards and 6 dimes. The Sparks countered through Rae Burrell's 24 points and Nneka Ogwumike's 21 points and 9 assists, but the first half's 109 combined points already signaled an offensive flow far exceeding expectations.

The second half pivoted sharply. Q2 produced only 43 combined points—a dramatic 23-point swing that tightened both defenses. Liberty's third quarter exploded again for 32 of the final half's 113 combined, powered by Stewart and Ionescu, while the fourth quieted to 53 combined as fatigue or adjusted defense settled in. The Sparks' Erica Wheeler managed 17 points and 9 assists off the bench, and Gardner chipped in 15 for New York, but the damage was done early.

The 222 combined total shattered the 182.5 market line—a 39.5-point overage that vindicated DAGGER's live call despite a pregame UNDER miss. The Liberty's four-point escape masked one of the season's most volatile scoring profiles, with two dominant quarters offsetting two quiet ones.
