Adams followed with a three to ignite a 14-3 run. Robinson drained a pair from the stripe after New York coach Bill Laimbeer was ejected for his second technical, giving the Silver Stars a 29-19 cushion.
San Antonio carried a 31-22 advantage into the break and the Liberty got only as close as five in the second half.
