The New York Liberty have had a long week. Last Friday, they defeated the Chicago Sky at home; then they hit. the road to beat the Indiana Fever before a much-hyped doubleheader against the Las Vegas Aces, a champagne-soaked Commissioner’s Cup victory on Tuesday before coming back to Earth with a loss on Thursday.
The Liberty, however, didn’t have time to rest quite yet, as they would remain out West for a contest against the Phoenix Mercury this Friday, marking their fifth game in eight days. On the bright side, across the finish line in Phoenix was a mouth-watering five-day rest before facing the Connecticut Sun next Thursday.
