The New York Liberty kicked off their 2025 campaign with an impressive 92-78 victory over the Las Vegas Aces, firmly establishing a championship mindset. Led by Breanna Stewart, who scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds, the Liberty showcased depth with standout performances from newcomers like Natasha Cloud, who added 22 points and nine assists. Despite struggles in three-point shooting, the Liberty's strong second quarter allowed them to secure the win in front of a passionate home crowd, emphasizing their goal of setting a standard for championship contenders in the league.
"I think it creates a standard for anyone that comes into Barclays," said Liberty forward Breanna Stewart after New York began its 'run it back' campaign with a resounding 92-78 triumph over the Las Vegas Aces in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 17,344 Saturday afternoon.
"Whether it's us playing or the Nets. Championship mindset and mentality amongst this franchise," Stewart added. "It's a special thing. Been looking forward to having this moment and celebrating with the fans."
