And, exhale. The New York Liberty have officially made it out the other side of their daunting, post-All-Star break stretch of eight games in 14 days. While the Libs do have one more game on their current road trip, a Friday night date with the Minnesota Lynx, they’ll have more time to rest up prior to it than they’ve had in two weeks.
New York took on the Los Angeles Sparks in the conclusion of their two-game mini-series in L.A., on Tuesday night to wrap up said traffic jam of games. This followed a victory over the Sparks on Sunday, a wire-to-wire affair featuring a dominant first half then a shaky second, where the Libs almost/kinda/not really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
