``It's just really lucky that I'm on a great team and I get the ball in situations I can score," McWilliams-Franklin said.

Cathrine Kraayeveld scored a career-high 22 points and Erin Thorn added 19 -- including buzzer-beating 3-pointers at the end of the first and third quarters -- for New York (4-20). The Liberty matched expansion Chicago for league's worst home record at 2-9.
Connecticut used a 10-2 run, keyed by two threes from Douglas, to take a 57-46 lead midway through the third quarter. Douglas made three free throws and Jamie Carey hit a jumper to give the Sun a 15-point lead with 16 seconds left.
However, Thorn threw up a two-handed, over-the-head shot from beyond halfcourt just before the buzzer to pull New York to 68-56.
Phillips's three with 7:14 left in the game gave Connecticut its biggest lead at 77-58. Her second trey matched the 19-point advantage 3 1/2 minutes later.
Becky Hammon, New York's leading scorer at 15.4 points per game, missed her sixth straight game because of a sprained left ankle.
Leading rebounder Kelly Schumacher is out for the rest of the season after spraining the medial collateral ligament in her right knee last Thursday in Sacramento.
