On Sunday afternoon, the New York Liberty played host to the Phoenix Mercury. These teams along with three more are fighting to get into the playoffs. With eight games left, and all eight with the teams ahead of them in the standings, the Liberty will need to get on it, and fast. They got off to a great start with a wire-to-wire, 89-69 victory.
The big focus of the day was how the Liberty were going to try and stop Skylar Diggins-Smith.
