Angel Reese scored 23 points — including six in overtime — and hit two late free throws after Sabrina Ionescu’s errant pass, while Jordin Canada added 23 points and eight assists.
Breanna Stewart’s 35 points kept the defending champions alive as New York erased an 86-80 deficit late in regulation, with Ionescu’s deep 3 and Stewart’s traffic layup forcing overtime before Stewart missed at the buzzer.
