Sabrina Ionescu scored 26 points, Breanna Stewart added 25 and the New York Liberty beat the Las Vegas Aces 93-85 to win the WNBA Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday night.

Las Vegas was missing four-time MVP A’ja Wilson, who tweaked her right ankle on Sunday in a win over Chicago. The Aces gave the Liberty all they could handle thanks to the stellar play of Jackie Young, who scored 25 of her 31 points in the second half.

The Aces led 71-69 early in the fourth quarter before New York went on a 15-2 run to take control. Pauline Astier got the run started with a 3-pointer with 7:08 left and the Liberty were off and running.

Ionescu's 3-pointer capped the burst and made it 84-73 with 3:39 left. Las Vegas wasn't done, getting within 86-82 on Young's 3 with 2:26 left. She had a chance to get the Aces within three with 37 seconds remaining but missed a contested layup. Ionescu then hit a 3 on the other end to seal the victory.

It's the second time the Liberty won the in-season tournament, also beating Las Vegas in 2023. New York is the first team to win that championship twice since it first started being played in 2021.
