The Liberty have looked nothing like the team that beat the Aces three times in August. Down 2-0, how can New York keep its championship dream alive?
told ESPN on Wednesday morning, a big reason why the Liberty hadn't dropped consecutive games all season entering the WNBA Finals, the point guard said.
But the team that took the floor this week in Las Vegas looked like a shell of the one that had defeated the Aces three times in August, or the one that had overcome a tough road to the Finals. New York hasn't looked like the same team that beat Las Vegas three times in August, or played with grit and toughness to advance past Washington and Connecticut in the postseason. Everything the Aces did looked effortless, systematic and smooth, a product of that core having played together for years, and of having won a championship together last season. Outside of when the Liberty could get the ball to Jones in the second quarter, it was the opposite for them.
"I think their defense really took a step up too," Brondello said."Their physicality bothered us. We have to be smarter too where we need to make strong cuts, not just soft cuts, violent cuts so we can actually draw people, setting better screens, just the little details to help us get open." The Liberty defense must find ways to make things more uncomfortable for the Aces guards, something they were more successful with in August. There is no way to beat Las Vegas if its guards are hitting shots like they have, and that confidence is something they'll surely bring to Brooklyn.
