The Liberty started the season with an impressive win over the Connecticut Sun at Barclays Center, then went into a tailspin losing seven straight including a 92-65 blowout loss to the Sun, also at Barclays.
That was May. This is June. Starting June 1, the Liberty has morphed into one of the WNBA’s best teams. For the month, they are now 6-3. More importantly, they’ve been in every game, losing those three contests by seven, two and nine points.
Wednesday night at Mohegan Sun arena in Uncasville, the Libs had another impressive win, beating the Sun, 81-77, while maintaining their cool as the Sun attempted comeback after comeback only to fall short.
