Kayla McBride gave the Lynx 24 points and led the team with five three-pointers. As a team, the Lynx were on-fire from deep, knocking down 15 of 31 threes. 

Sabrina Ionescu led New York with 31 points. 

The Lynx and Liberty will meet three more times this season, and they'll happen in succession on Aug. 10th, 16th and 19th.
