A big push that ultimately fell a bit short. The New York Liberty found themselves down 17 points on the second half of a back-to-back against the Minnesota Lynx on Friday night. However, they tapped into their energy reserves and make a furious rally to get as close as one point. Unfortunately for them, that's the closest they would get as the Lynx beat them 88-83. The L snapped the Liberty’s four game winning streak.
The opponent today is starting to right the ship. Injuries have decimated the Los Angeles Sparks, but they've kept on fighting and are in position to make it back to the playoffs for the first time in the post Candace Parker era.
