The New York Liberty found unique ways to stay in the game amidst a speedy Commissioner's Cup slate.
The powers that be in the WNBA scheduling department certainly made sure that the Liberty's attempt to defend its spot in the Commissioner's Cup final was a challenge.
The weekend win was one where everything went right for the Liberty: Betnijah Laney-Hamilton led the team in scoring with 20 points and neutralized touted rookie Caitlin Clark on defense before turning her attention to Indiana leading scorer Kelsey Mitchell. Elsewhere on the box score, Jonquel Jones posted an 18-point, 13-rebound double-double while Burke posted her first double-figure game after a year away from the W with 10 off the bench.
"I requested the wave. They weren't going to do the wave," Vandersloot, who has missed the past three games due to personal reasons, said with a smirk after the win. "I like when the crowd gets involved in it. Ellie is so much fun to watch ... A moment like this, this is fun. We've worked so hard, it's stressful with all this stuff but then when you're up by 30 and you can relax a little and just enjoy the moment, it's cool to get your crowd involved.
Head coach Sandy Brondello credited last season's bittersweet assembly, one that featured a CC title and came a stone's throw away from the frarnchise's first postseason championship, for creating chemistry that is proving explosive late in games.
