The New York Liberty are officially in year two of championship expectations, having come oh-so-close to accomplishing the mission in year one. Instead, they lost an excruciating, nail-biting, gut-wrenching Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on their home floor to the then-and-still defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
Bummer in Brooklyn.
The Liberty blow a 12 point 2nd half lead and lose to the Aces 70-69 in Game 4.
