The New York Liberty will host Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA season after their preseason meeting. The Liberty were stunned, succumbing to a 101-53 defeat. Since then, things have looked much better to the point where New York has been unbeaten in five games, including a preseason outing vs. the Connecticut Sun.
It's the best start for the franchise in 17 years. The Liberty beat the Seattle Storm 74-63 in their previous outing. Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and reigning MVP Breanna Stewert were the key architects of the win. Ionescu scored 20 points and added eight assists, while Stewart and Jones finished 16 points each.
The Liberty unusually struggled from deep, going 3-of-23, but kept up the pressure by aggressively getting to the rim and earning 20 trips to the foul line.
