SEATTLE — Breanna Stewart had 25 points and 11 rebounds in her return to the Pacific Northwest, and the New York Liberty beat the Seattle Storm 86-78 on Tuesday night.

Stewart is the second player in WNBA history with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in her first game against a former team, joining Chamique Holdsclaw, who had 27 points and 10 rebounds in 2005 against the Mystics.

Stewart took over in the third quarter with 10 points and six rebounds to help New York extend a narrow halftime lead to 68-56 entering the fourth.
