Breanna Stewart scored 34 points, Jonquel Jones recorded a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds and the New York Liberty never trailed in their 87-77 Game 1 defeat of the visiting Las Vegas Aces to open their WNBA semifinal series on Sunday.

New York opened its 2023 WNBA Finals rematch with the two-time reigning champion Aces with an early, 10-2 scoring run that set the tone for the game. The Aces briefly cut the Liberty lead to two points midway through the second quarter, but spent much of the afternoon at a deficit of eight to 18 points.
