Unbeaten New York Liberty Reach 6-0 Start With 85-63 Win Over Mystics

Sabrina Ionescu led the New York Liberty to an 85-63 victory over the Washington Mystics, scoring a season-high 28 points including four 3-pointers, along with five assists. Jonquel Jones returned from a hamstring injury to contribute 14 points and 18 rebounds, sustaining the Liberty's unbeaten record at 6-0, their best start in franchise history. The Liberty dominated the game, especially in the third quarter with a decisive 16-0 run that extended their lead to 20 points, effectively shutting down the Mystics who struggled with shooting, finishing at 28% from the field. German forward Leonie Fiebich also had a strong performance with 12 points and nine rebounds, while Breanna Stewart had an off night scoring 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting. Washington's Brittney Sykes led her team with 20 points, but the Mystics' scoring droughts and turnovers hindered any comeback efforts. The Liberty will next face the Connecticut Sun, while the Mystics prepare for a game against Indiana.
