Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 22 points. 

The Liberty put the league on notice when they issued a 99-61 utter beatdown to the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. 

They have a chance soundly demonstrate that the road to the WNBA championship runs through Brooklyn on Tuesday when they play the Aces once again.
