Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty are confident they can rebound from the Game 1 collapse against the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA Finals

NEW YORK — For the briefest of moments, Breanna Stewart put her hands on her head. Then she slapped them on her legs, bowed her head and gave a half-hearted high five to a New York Liberty teammate.

It was the perfect coda to Collier's virtuosic performance, tallying 21 points, eight rebounds, three steals and six blocks. She outplayed her marquee counterpart, Liberty's Breanna Stewart, who finished with 18 points on 6-of-21 shooting from the field.
