KEY MILESTONES
Today's win margin of 48 is the second-best in WNBA history and a New York Liberty franchise record.
Natasha Cloud and Breanna Stewart both finished with a franchise record plus/minus of +44, which is also the fifth highest regular season single-game plus/minus in WNBA history.
The Liberty's 7-0 record has tied the 1997 team for the franchise's best to start the season.
With 13 points and 11 rebounds, Jonquel Jones registered her 27th double-double as a member of the New York Liberty. The Liberty are now a pristine 27-0 when Jones records a double-double.
The Liberty opened the game with 19 consecutive assisted field goals, which was the second most in WNBA history.
Ten days after setting the WNBA's record for most made three-pointers in a game, New York matched that feat with another 19 makes from three.
