New York Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun: Preview
The Sun come into the game buoyed by performances and results over the last week. They disposed of Phoenix Mercury with relative ease, before putting in a real shift against WNBA heavyweights Minnesota Lynx.
Their playoff push is now firmly on track and they will be looking to stretch their current unbeaten run to four games. A win against a fellow Eastern Conference team will do their chances no harm whatsoever.
The Liberty, on the other hand, will be looking to quickly dispel the bad feelings surrounding them after the surprising road defeat at the hands of Indiana Fever last matchup. The players gave it their all and if it weren't for some poor finishing, they may have got something from the game.
New York coach Sandy Brondello, therefore, will go into Wednesday’s game knowing that it is a must-win situation.
Both teams have got strong rosters and plenty of experienced players in both ranks, which makes it even more of an intriguing contest to watch. The likes of DeWanna Bonner, Dijonai Carrington, Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart will all be on show, and supporters of the league will be hoping the fixture lives up to its billing.
