Breanna Stewart decided enough was enough.

“I wanted to do whatever I could to make sure that we didn’t lose this game,” Stewart said. “Every game is important.”

The Liberty woke up.

They fought back.

Their defense dictated their offense and vice versa.

On a night when their shots weren’t falling — New York shot 2-for-18 from deep — the Liberty found a way to win, beating the Fever 83-75 to capture their fourth straight win and second Commissioner’s Cup victory.

Stewart scored 15 of her team-high 30 points in the fourth.

She helped ignite the comeback starting in that third-quarter huddle.

“My message was, we need to wake up,” Stewart said.

“Heard you,” Satou Sabally responded.

“You can’t go through the motions,” Stewart continued. “It just doesn’t work and you have to kind of respect the team that we’re playing against and really leave it out on the line.”

New York closed the gap on the Fever with a 9-0 run to close the third quarter.

Stewart then drained a free throw at the start of the fourth thanks to an Aliyah Boston technical foul that made it a two-point game.

Stewart went 18-for-21 from the free-throw line, including 13-for-15 in the fourth quarter.

The Fever did their best to fend off the Liberty as long as they could.

But New York was relentless, taking advantage of the Fever by getting into the bonus. New York outscored the Fever 29-18 in the fourth quarter — 21 of those points came from the free-throw line.

“Sometimes you just give the manufacturer some aggressiveness and energy,” DeMarco said. “I thought we found a way to do that late there.”

Saturday’s was an odd game. It started fast and looked like it was going to be an offensive showcase. Marine Johannès hit a couple of 3s early then faded.

The game got clunky.

Both sides struggled. Nothing seemed to go their way. Layups missed the mark. The whistles appeared to fluster both sides at various points.

Late in the third quarter, though, the Liberty decided to fight back.

“Our defense really created a momentum shift for us and we really have to start the game up like that,” said Sabally, who contributed 13 points and five rebounds off the bench. “And Stewie challenged us, too, at halftime just to be the aggressor in the game and not let them dictate us. So I think we responded well.”

Stewart did what Stewart does.

“I don’t want to say it’s her job, but that’s what she wants to do, right?” Leonie Fiebich said. “That’s why she’s here and that’s her own approach, how she wants to play the game… You could tell, like, we can give her the ball, we can put her off the ball, she just always has a huge impact on the game and she showed it again today.”

The Liberty displayed a lot of toughness Saturday. Even when shots weren’t falling, the Liberty didn’t collapse. They found ways to stay in the game, whether it was by winning the battle of the boards or getting to the free-throw line.

“F–k it, honestly, we want to win games whether they’re pretty or they’re ugly,” Stewart said. “And that’s what’s going to be the separator down the line is who can get the win when things aren’t going well and we continue to fight back.”
