Breanna Stewart scored 34 points with 12 rebounds.

Lynx face must-win Game 2 in New York on Tuesday.

Nia Brodie led the Lynx with 16 points in 19 minutes off the bench and Kayla McBride had 14 points after missing her first five 3-point attempts. Collier and All-Star center Natasha Howard each fouled out, and star rookie Olivia Miles had a quiet postseason debut with 11 points on 3-for-12 shooting and just one assist.

The Liberty were as tough of an opponent as a team with the league’s best regular season record could face, finishing 26-18 and just two years removed from their first WNBA championship that came at the expense of the Lynx in a final that went the full five games.
