Breanna Stewart wasn't going to let history repeat itself.
With the Minnesota Lynx making another fourth quarter run, the two-time league MVP refused to let the New York Liberty lose again.
Stewart scored 21 points and had a WNBA Finals record seven steals to help the Liberty beat the Lynx 80-66 on Sunday in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals.
Just like Game 1, New York built a double-digit lead in the first half, only to see it evaporate. This time they didn't completely collapse , holding on to even the series 1-1 as it shifts to Minnesota for Game 3 on Wednesday night.
"The moment the game ended Thursday night I was looking forward to Sunday to change things, change the narrative a little bit," Stewart said. "Be the same I was and be obviously better."
