UNITED STATES -JJ and the Liberty dug deep to pull out an 83-75 win over the Indiana Fever last night for their fourth straight victory.

JJ only scored 8 points on 2-6 shooting, but she came up big with a couple of clutch buckets in the 4th quarter, and also controlled the boards with 12 rebounds.

Breanna Stewart had the hot hand for the Liberty, scoring 30 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.

The Liberty was down by as many as 12 in the third quarter, and they were down 5 going into the 4th, but they put their championship experience to work, chipping away at the lead until JJ hit a pair of free throws with 4:28 left in the fourth to put the team up.

They never looked back after that.
