NEW YORK – Isabelle Fijalkowski scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds Monday night as the Cleveland Rockers won the WNBA’s Eastern Conference with a 70-64 victory over the New York Liberty.

The Rockers (20-10), who have won four straight and six consecutive road games, will enter the playoffs as the second seed behind the Western champion Houston Comets. New York (18-11) will likely need a win against Detroit in its final game Wednesday night to make the four-team playoff round.

The loss, in front of a crowd of 17,396, snapped the Liberty’s four-game winning streak and their six-game winning streak at Madison Square Garden.

Former University of Maine star Cindy Blodgett did not play in the game for the Rockers.

Rebecca Lobo scored 18 points to lead the Liberty. Michelle Edwards scored 17 and Eva Nemcova and Merlakia Jones each added 10 for Cleveland.

The Rockers led 63-56 with 2:50 left when Lobo hit a shot in the lane and converted a 3-point play. The teams traded baskets before Sophia Witherspoon scored three straight to cut the Rockers’ lead to 65-61.
