NEW YORK — Breanna Stewart and her New York Liberty teammates were confident they can rebound from the Game 1 collapse that put them down a game to Minnesota in the WNBA Finals.
Stewart said she watched the free throw she missed at the end of regulation which would have won the game for New York a few times to see if anything was off with her form. She came to the conclusion it wasn’t and that sometimes shots just don’t fall.
“I’m on to the next, you know, what happened happened, moving forward because this is a series and my team team needs me,” she said.
The two-time MVP and her teammates will need to be at their best on Sunday when they face the Lynx in Game 2 of the best-of-five series.
“We have to have short-term memory get it out of our system really quick and get ready for another battle,” Stewart said at practice Saturday. “We came in yesterday addressing things, today addressing things and just really, fine tuning and getting ready to go again. ”
Stewart said a bunch of people reached out to her after the 95-93 overtime loss Thursday including former teammate Sue Bird. They had a common thread in their messaging.
“Bounce back,” she said.
