The top eight teams in the league will qualify for the postseason.

Ionescu shot 9-for-21 from the field, including 3-for-10 from behind the arc, to help power the Liberty to the win.

Breanna Stewart contributed 18 points, while Jonquel Jones led the team with 17 rebounds in the victory.

The Liberty's stars combined for an impressive defensive performance as they held the Aces to 67 points, the team's fourth-fewest since the start of the 2022 season.

This marks the second time the Liberty have triumphed over the defending champions while playing on the road this season. New York also claimed a 90-82 win over the Aces in Las Vegas in June.

The Liberty's 23-4 start to the season marks the franchise's best-ever record through 27 games.

The team has 13 games remaining, a slate that includes four matchups against the Dallas Wings following their 6-20 start to the season. That will give the Liberty a shot at fending off the 19-win Connecticut Sun and holding on to the top spot in the league.

This marks the fourth straight season in which the Liberty have guaranteed themselves a playoff berth. The team has now qualified for the playoffs 19 times in the franchise's 28-year WNBA history.

Despite five trips to the Finals, including last season's loss to the Aces, the Liberty have never won a title. The team will look to change that as they fight to head into the postseason with home-court advantage.
