New York Liberty Extend WNBA Winning Streak to Eight Games

The New York Liberty have started the 2025 WNBA season with a strong undefeated record, standing at 5-0 after a close 82-77 win over the Golden State Valkyries. Breanna Stewart has been a key player, recently becoming the fastest WNBA player to reach 5,500 career points, surpassing Diana Taurasi, and leading the Liberty with 27 points in the latest game. The Liberty also dominated their previous matchup against the Valkyries, winning 95-67, with Stewart scoring 24 points and Jonquel Jones contributing a double-double. The Liberty's depth, including strong bench performances from players like Marine Johannes, has been highlighted as a crucial advantage over the Valkyries, who are struggling with injuries and a less experienced roster. New York's combination of a powerful starting lineup and effective bench makes them strong contenders, as they continue to build on their momentum from last season's championship. The Valkyries, as a new franchise, face challenges but have shown moments of competitiveness despite the Liberty's dominance.
