Liberty’s X-Factors for Game 2
Jonquel Jones was a standout player for New York in Game 1, achieving a double-double with a game-high 24 points and 10 rebounds, along with three assists and a steal. Jones’ strong start was crucial, as she contributed to four of the Liberty's 20 offensive rebounds. For the Liberty to compete effectively in this series, she will need to maintain her aggressive play.
Sabrina Ionescu, despite scoring 19 points, had a challenging game with a shooting percentage of 8-of-26 and 3-of-9 from beyond the arc. Head coach Sandy Brondello is confident that Ionescu, a fierce competitor, will bounce back for Game 2.
