Breanna Stewart had 33 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, Sabrina Ionescu scored 12 of her 21 points in overtime, and the New York Liberty beat the short-handed Dallas Wings 99-98 on Monday night to snap a four-game skid.<\/p>\n
After scoring just nine points in the third quarter \u2014 and trailing by 12 in the frame \u2014 New York responded with 24 points in the fourth to force overtime.<\/p>\n
Ionescu took over from there, making all five of her shots to give New York a 97-93 lead with 1:20 left.<\/p>\n
Arike Ogunbowale sank a 3-pointer to pull Dallas within 99-98 with 27.5 seconds left and New York had a shot-clock violation at the other end to give the Wings another chance. Ogunbowale had a good look from close range but her bank shot hit hard off the rim as time expired.<\/p>\n
Ogunbowale scored 29 points for Dallas (17-9), which had a franchise-record six-game winning streak halted. Jessica Shepard secured her 17th double-double of the season with 13 points and 16 rebounds to tie Atlanta\u2019s Angel Reese for league lead.<\/p>\n
Dallas was without star Paige Bueckers after she hit her head on the floor late in a 90-82 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. Bueckers isn\u2019t in the concussion protocol, but the team said last season\u2019s Rookie of the Year was still feeling sore.<\/p>\n
Jonquel Jones finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for New York (14-12). Marine Fauthoux had 10 points and 10 boards.<\/p>\n
The game was rescheduled from Thursday night after the Liberty\u2019s charter flight had mechanical issues.<\/p>\n
