Coach Brondello praises Laney-Hamilton's 'massive' 20 points in 80-66 Game 2 win
-
NEW YORK - For the first time since July 6, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton scored 20 points, and she did so in a game where the New York Liberty desperately needed it.
"What 'B' brings is this grit, this toughness. She's giving us whatever she's got," Liberty forward Breanna Stewart said.
"They were going under on her and she knocked that thing down with confidence. It was good to see her get into a good rhythm."
Behind Laney-Hamilton's breakout performance, and 21 points and a Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Finals-record seven steals from Stewart, hosts New York evened the score against the Minnesota Lynx in the championship series.
They won 80-66 in Game 2 on Oct 13 in front of 18,046 fans - a record crowd for WNBA at the Barclays Centre.
Stewart also had eight rebounds and five assists, while shooting seven of 18 from the floor in a stat-stuffing performance.
