NaLyssa Smith posted a double-double of 12 points and 17 rebounds while Queen Egbo grabbed 14 boards to help Indiana to a commanding 57-33 rebounding edge.

New York’s Sabrina Ionsecu led all scorers with 31 points, including a tying 3-pointer in the waning seconds of regulation. After being held to two points in Wednesday’s 33-point loss at Chicago, Ionescu shot 11 of 20 from the field and made five 3-pointers.

Betnijah Laney added 16 points and Stefanie Dolson finished with 12 for the Liberty (1-2), who shot 36.3 percent and committed 17 turnovers.

In overtime, Indiana appeared to secure the game when Mitchell converted a three-point play with 1:57 remaining for a six-point lead. However, Laney hit two free throws and a jumper before Ionescu’s left-handed layup forged an 84-84 tie with a minute left.

Robinson then made a pullup jumper from the right elbow with 54.9 seconds left to give Indiana a 86-84 lead, and she snapped a 86-all tie by hitting two free throws with 24.9 seconds left.

The Liberty had a chance to tie or take the lead but with 19.2 seconds remaining, but Ionescu’s pass to Natasha Howard went out of bounds, and the Fever hit four free throws the rest of the way.
