New York Liberty win first WNBA championship
Breanna Stewart joined the New York Liberty two years ago with one goal in mind: to bring the long-suffering franchise it's first championship. WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones soon joined her and the pair helped the Liberty accomplish their mission, a year after they suffered a disappointing loss in the Finals to Las Vegas. FOX 5 NY's Tina Cervasio has the story.
NEW YORK CITY - The New York Liberty will celebrate its first WNBA Championship in franchise history with a ticker-tape parade through New York City.
