The New York Liberty returned to action on Friday night a whole five days after their statement win over the Las Vegas Aces last Sunday, an unambiguous 99-61 win on national television that sent shockwaves throughout the WNBA.
New York is now just three games behind Las Vegas in the standings, and the two giants still have a trio of matchups later this month, including the Commissioner’s Cup on August 15th. The Liberty are, essentially, an entirely new squad this season while the Aces only have one new player in their starting five. Does the W have two superteams after all?
