Barclays Center was not the place to cure a hangover on Sunday afternoon.
Though the New York Liberty were facing the Connecticut Sun, perhaps the worst team in the league, 17,000 fans were going ape the whole time. To kick off Pride Month, the self-proclaimed gayest team in the league celebrated Ellie the Elephant’s birthday and obliterated the Connecticut Sun.
Obliterated doesn’t really describe it though; a vivid recounting of what the Liberty put Connecticut through on Sunday afternoon would border on the obscene, unfit to print.
The numbers do the blowout a bit of justice; the Liberty tied the single-game 3-point record with 19 makes, the record they set just five games prior against the Chicago Sky.
