The home outfit came out on top, securing a 95-83 win on the night, which leaves them seventh in the overall table, while the Storm remain in 15th place.

Hillary Clinton cheered by crowd at New York Liberty vs Seattle Storm game
Hillary has a few homes, but her primary residence is in Chappaqua, New York.
In turn, it was perhaps not too surprising to see her make a trip to the Barclays Center on the night to watch the WNBA action unfold.
Now, a video has been shared on X/Twitter highlighting how the crowd at the match reacted to Clinton.
During proceedings, the big screen showed a close-up of Hillary, who then stood up and turned around to wave at fans.

And as Jackie Powell detailed, she got an ovation from those in attendance: “Hillary Rodham Clinton is in the house and got an ovation.

New York Liberty will now return to action against the Storm later this week on August 5.
