New York Liberty Beat Chicago Sky 91-86 End Regular Season

The New York Liberty closed their regular WNBA season with a 91-86 victory over the Chicago Sky, finishing with a 27-17 record and securing the fifth seed for the playoffs. Breanna Stewart led the Liberty with 24 points, supported by Rebekah Gardner and Emma Meesseman off the bench, while Sabrina Ionescu contributed 11 points and 11 assists without any turnovers. The Liberty, strengthened by returning healthy starters, have won three straight games and will face the fourth-seeded Phoenix Mercury in the first round of the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Chicago Sky endured a difficult season, finishing 10-34 with significant struggles including injuries and off-court issues surrounding star Angel Reese, who missed several games due to back problems and suspension. Chicago's Kamilla Cardoso was a consistent performer, but the team's overall challenges have left their future uncertain as they conclude a turbulent year. The Liberty aim to capitalize on their momentum and depth as they embark on their postseason run.
