The Liberty’s superteam will be looking to avoid elimination in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Sunday.
The Liberty have hit their low point.
Prior to Wednesday night, the superteam had never faced elimination nor lost two games in a row during this season. Yet, after the alarming 104-76 blowout loss to the Aces in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, that has turned upside down.
Heading into that game, Liberty coach Sandy Brondello and her players were in a similar position to where they were in the semifinals when they dropped Game 1 to the Sun.
So, the Liberty had the confidence they could respond to the defending champions to avoid the 0-2 hole.
Sunday afternoon at the Barclays Center is their last chance to find that answer in a Game 3 that has zero margin for error.
The rough patch has come at an inopportune time for the Liberty.
The Aces, however, went through their own troubles during the regular season.
In August, they dropped five games, three of which by a margin of 15 points or more.
Additionally, three of the five losses, including the Commissioner’s Cup, were at the hands of the Liberty.
“The defense was superb.
