The Storm beat the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty 79-70 on Sunday with a dominant performance that is sure to resonate around the league.

The Storm (11-7) face the Liberty (12-5) at Barclays Center at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, with both teams coming off recent wins.

The Liberty fumbled a small halftime lead and experienced a disastrous second-half collapse as the Storm ran away with a 79-70 win. The Liberty put up little resistance in the second half — that was until the final 2:35, when Sandy Brondello cleared the bench with New York down 17.
