New York erased a 66-62 fourth-quarter deficit with a 19-4 closing run, beating Indiana 83-75 for its fourth straight win.
Breanna Stewart drove the comeback with 30 points and 18-of-21 free-throw shooting, including 11-of-12 from the line during the decisive burst; the Liberty finished 33-of-40 on free throws.
Indiana had built a 57-45 lead late in the third quarter before New York closed the period with the final 10 points; Paulina Astier added two late layups to help seal it.
