Not quite the start you want. The New York Liberty began their three game pre All Star Game road trip in Los Angeles against the Sparks, but the team lost by 10 points as the offense couldn’t finish strong down the stretch.
The opponent tonight will be the Las Vegas Aces. Under new head coach, Becky Hammon, Vegas has blitzed opponents for much of the season and are a title favorite. They last played on Sunday, and were on the receiving end of a 31 point drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Lynx as Minnesota retired the jersey of former player and current assistant coach, Rebekah Brunson.
