Somehow, someway, we’re here. The New York Liberty are back in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since the 2017 season, and it took everything going right for them to make it to the dance. No matter now as the young squad hopes to shock the world and do something incredible this postseason. It doesn’t matter how you get in the postseason. Once you’re in, everything starts over and you have a chance to make it happen.
Standing in their way are the Phoenix Mercury. After a lackluster first half of the season, Phoenix came back with a vengeance and went 10-3 in the second half to secure the fifth seed.
