The New Liberty lost their fifth straight game — and eighth of the past nine — on Tuesday night in Minnesota, 74-66. New York’s struggles have become poignant and the fate of the season is in question.
The story of the game for New York was an inability to hit shots. The LIberty created open opportunities time and time again but just as often failed to convert. They closed the evening shooting 32.4 percent from the field and a mere 20.8 percent from behind the t3-point arc.
The Liberty still hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the WNBA standings (by eight percentage points), but their chances at a postseason bid are becoming slim.
