We’re used to superstars doing superstar things in Brooklyn, and tonight was no exception. In front of an energetic Barclays Center crowd, the New York Liberty faced off against the best regular season team in the WNBA in 2021 and early 2022 title favorite, the Connecticut Sun. In a tightly contested, back-and-forth game, the Liberty prevailed and snagged their first win of the season by beating the Sun, 81-79 before 6,829 excited fans on Saturday night.
The crowd was the largest to watch a Liberty home game since August 2019 when they debuted in Brooklyn, before the pandemic, and drew 7,715 fans.
