It was far from the offensive shootout that many expected, but the New York Liberty won the Commissioner’s Cup.
The Liberty knocked off the Las Vegas Aces 82-63 on Tuesday at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas to claim the WNBA’s latest edition of its in-season tournament. The Liberty shut down the Aces' offense and, despite a pretty poor shooting night all around, picked up their second straight win over the team that has been dominating the league all summer.
The win marks the first championship of any kind for the Liberty since they entered the league in 1997.
