They almost pulled off a miracle.
On Friday night, the New York Liberty played host to the young and energetic Indiana Fever. The Liberty fell behind by ten going into the fourth quarter and fought their way back into it to force overtime. However, they couldn’t bring it all the way home for the hometown crowd and suffered a tough loss, falling 96-90.
Throughout her tenure as coach, Brondello has spoken of her “non-negotiables” and in the pregame, she identified them as:
- Effort
- Energy
- Focus
- Talk
When the Liberty fell behind by ten entering the fourth quarter and trailed by six in overtime, they could’ve let go of the rope and given up.
