The New York Liberty suffered a crushing defeat on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, when the expansion Fire connected on a buzzer-beater to clinch a last-second victory.
The final shot dropped as the horn sounded, erasing what had been a narrow Liberty lead only moments earlier and handing the first-year Fire a dramatic win in their inaugural meeting with New York.
No additional statistics, player totals or location details were immediately released, but the outcome marked one of the most heartbreaking results of the Liberty’s young season, coming against a team still establishing its foothold in the league.
The Liberty will look to regroup before their next contest as the Fire celebrate a signature early milestone in franchise history.
