The New York Liberty are not done yet.
The ladies showed tremendous fight in an 87-73 victory over the Las Vegas Aces in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday to cut Vegas’ lead in the series down 2-1. New York must win Game 4 on Wednesday to extend the series back to Las Vegas for a deciding Game 5.
Leading the way for New York was Jonquel Jones who shot 10-for-15 from the floor, including 4-of-7 from downtown. She finished with 27 points on the night.
Meanwhile, Breanna Stewart contributed 20 points and 12 boards, while Betnijah Laney and Courtney Vandersloot each dropped 12 points for the Liberty.
New York clung to a slim three-point lead at the break, but exploded offensively in the second half. Vandersloot hit a couple of big shots early in the third quarter to jumpstart a 9-0 run for New York as the Liberty grabbed a 51-40 lead. They would never trail again for the rest of the night.
In fact, the Liberty shot over 50 percent in the second half (14-of-26) from the field, while holding the Aces to just a little over 30 percent shooting in the second half. Las Vegas missed on 11 shots in total in the third quarter alone.

Check out this list of 10 items Black Cat Owners will love. Spooky howl-o-ween season has officially arrived. And, in my opinion, the most stereotyped character is the Black cat. Long associated with Halloween, witches, and, of course, bad luck. We’ve all heard it a million times…don’t let a black cat cross your path or else you’re in for it, witches turn into Black cats, etc. In any case, they get a bad rap, to the point where some shelters won’t put black adoptable cats up during the month of October for fear of what a misguided adopter might do. Sad but true story.
I admit I was very naïve about the amount of rich history associated with Black Cats, both good and bad. I’m sure you Black cat owners out there are way ahead of me on this. On one hand, revered as a god or a fairy and on the other a sign of death or just plain old unluckiness. Did you know these few fun facts? The sun can break down your cat’s black pigment to make them look rust-colored; most Black cats have yellow eyes; many black cats possess genetic mutations that may actually help prevent disease; or there are more Black cats than any other, but they come in more than twenty breeds? You can go down a real Google hole with this topic.
While tackling this list, the volume of items I was able to find pleasantly surprised me, and boy are there some really fun buys out there. I had well over twenty items on my original list. As a Black Cat owner, you should definitely treat yourself to one of the items on this list to celebrate National Black Cat Day, appropriately held on October 27th annually, or maybe grab an early Holiday gift for your favorite Veterinarian. I hope you find something you just can’t resist on this list of 9 items Black cat owners will love.
