The New York Liberty had a chance to close out its first round series with a win against the Mercury on Wednesday, but it was not to be. The Mercury seized its second lead of the game at the start of the second quarter and didn't relinquish the advantage for the remainder of the game en route to an 86-60 blowout win at the Barclays Center, a victory that evened up the series at one game apiece before a winner-take-all Game 3.
And in a quiet Liberty locker room after the game, it was Breanna Stewart who had something to say to the team.
