NEW YORK — Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty were left thinking about what could have been. The Liberty had an 18-point lead in the first half and an 11-point advantage with 3:23 left in regulation before Game 1 of the WNBA Finals slipped away and with it homecourt advantage in the best-of-five series. The two-time MVP had a chance at the end of regulation to give New York the victory, but the second of her two free throws rimmed out. She then had another opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer in overtime, but her layup fell harmless off the basket giving the Lynx the 95-93 victory.
