Breanna Stewart’s 9-Year No-Tech Streak Snapped in the Liberty’s Loss to Atlanta
New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart received a technical foul during the team's 95-84 loss to the Atlanta Dream on Monday, ending her nine-year streak without one.
Frustration over a missed foul call prompted the penalty after Atlanta Dream player Angel Reese stole the ball with under two minutes remaining. Replays showed Reese slapped Stewart's wrist.
Stewart told reporters, "That absolutely was the no-call." The technical marks just the third of her career, ending a streak dating back to 2017.
Afterwards, Stewart suggested Reese should pay the fine associated with the technical foul. The New York Liberty have already secured a playoff position despite the loss.
The New York Liberty will face Atlanta again on Wednesday in the regular-season finale, seeking to improve their standing after the loss cost them potential homecourt advantage.
