Breanna Stewart did not forget being mocked after last year's WNBA Finals. Stewart shot just 3-17 from the floor in the decisive game that saw the Las Vegas Ace

Breanna Stewart was on a mission in the New York Liberty’s 87-77 win over the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1 of their WNBA semifinals series on Sunday. After leading the Liberty with 20 first-half points, Stewart made a bold promise to fans at Barclays Center, telling them she has “a lot to make up for” following last year’s postseason disappointment.

That’s what head coach Becky Hammon said after the Liberty showcased a potent offense and stifling defense while outhusting her Las Vegas Aces team during Sunday’s Game 1 semifinals loss.
