The New York Liberty are riding high. Over a short All-Star break, they added former Fnals MVP Emma Meesseman and Stephanie Talbot, but not before Sabrina Ionescu won yet another 3-Point Contest and Natasha Cloud the Skills Contest. More importantly, the Liberty were riding a three-game winning streak into the season’s second half.
But MOST importantly, they welcomed a healthy Jonquel Jones back into the fold on Tuesday evening, playing the Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever to open post All-Star play.
Of course, Jonquel Jones hit a corner three to open the scoring, and it felt like New York was en route not to just one dominant win, but a dominant title defense.
