New York Liberty Faces Washington Mystics in Thrilling WNBA Showdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The New York Liberty will take on the Washington Mystics in a highly anticipated WNBA matchup on May 30, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. ET at CareFirst Arena.

The Liberty come into this game riding a perfect 4-0 record, aiming to defend their championship title from last season. With standout performances from players like Breanna Stewart, who is averaging 20.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, New York looks to continue their excellent form. Stewart recently scored 24 points in their victory over the Golden State Valkyries.

On the other hand, the Mystics sit at 3-3 and are struggling after a strong start, having lost three consecutive games. Rookie Kiki Iriafen has shown promise, averaging 14.2 points and 10.7 rebounds, and will be looking to capitalize on Jonquel Jones‘ absence in this match.

“We know the Liberty are a tough team, but we’re ready to compete,” said Mystics head coach Eric Thibault. “We have to step up our game, especially on defense, if we want to win.”

The Liberty’s scoring prowess has been impressive, leading the league with 91.6 points per game, while they have allowed just 76.8 points per game defensively, placing them second in the league for defensive effectiveness.

Fans can catch the action live on NBA TV and various streaming platforms. As both teams prepare for this exciting clash, the Liberty hope to extend their winning streak against a Mystics team eager to reclaim momentum.

In their previous five encounters, the Liberty have dominated the Mystics, winning every matchup, including a close 85-80 victory earlier this month. With a mix of close finishes and decisive wins, the Liberty continue to assert their dominance in the WNBA.
