Back-to-backs are always tough. With the turnaround as short as it is, you don’t have much time to rest or prepare for the next opponent. You’ve got to be ready and make the best out of some tough circumstances. For the New York Liberty, staying ready is a way of life.
“I’m not tired,” Sabrina Ionescu said after Saturday’s win against the Los Angeles Sparks. With the Liberty down to just eight players, more has fallen on to the young guard’s shoulders as the team tries to hang on until reinforcements arrive. And on Sunday against the Atlanta Dream, she and the Liberty continued their recent run of amazing play.
