After New York's Jonquel Jones tied the game 64-64 off an offensive rebound with 2:44 to play, the Aces pushed ahead. Wilson pivoted off her defender and sank a mid-range shot to make it 70-64 with 1:27 left.

Vandersloot hit her fourth three-pointer of the night and Sabrina Ionescu made a jumper from the foul line to cut the deficit to one, but their play with eight seconds left ended with an air ball.

Vandersloot powered the Liberty with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Breanna Stewart had 10 points, 14 rebounds and five assists but shot 3-for-17. Betnijah Laney scored 15 points and Ionescu added 13.

The Liberty capitalised on eight Aces turnovers in the first quarter to take a 23-13 lead. The Aces drew within 31-30 with 2:33 left in the first half thanks to Kelsey Plum's layup.
