Stewart powers short-handed Liberty to season-opening rout of Sun
Breanna Stewart had 31 points and 10 rebounds to help the short-handed New York Liberty open their season with a 106-75 rout of the Connecticut Sun.
Marine Johannes added 17 points for New York, which was missing star guard Sabrina Ionescu, who is out with a left foot injury she suffered last Sunday in a preseason game against the Sun.
Rebecca Allen has a left leg injury and Satou Sabally has a cyst.
Both free-agent additions missed the opener as well.
New York still ran away from Connecticut early, going up 36-13 after the first quarter.
