Back at full strength, the New York Liberty muscled past the visiting Washington Mystics 75-66 Tuesday night.
It has been a season full of injuries for New York, who was looking to restore some momentum heading into the WNBA playoffs. The Liberty have now won four of their last six games.
New York started the same lineup it had on Opening Night, featuring the return of Sabrina Ionescu, who had missed the last four games with a toe injury. Ionescu played 27 minutes and had six points and a game-high nine assists.
Emma Meesseman led New York (26-17) with 19 points off the bench. Breanna Stewart had 14. The Liberty remain locked on the fifth seed in the WNBA playoffs with one game left to play, and will likely face Phoenix in the first round.
Washington (16-28) ends the season on a 10-gam
