The unheralded Leonie Fiebich could be in for a big game for the New York Liberty tonight as the Minnesota Lynx try to lock down Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart.
Ever since this star-studded New York Liberty core came together, the WNBA title has been the prime obsession, and they’re clear favorites heading into Game 1 of the Finals tonight against the Minnesota Lynx.Ionescu responded to a rare dud outing in Game 3 against the Las Vegas Aces with a bounce-back 22-point effort to punch New York’s ticket to the Finals. That was just the latest installment in a sublime postseason run for Sabrina.
Williams is no stranger to the Finals stage, having been here with the Connecticut Sun in 2019 and 2022, and she clearly relished the win-or-go-home vibe of Game 5 this week. As the energizer for Minnesota, Williams needs to push the pace to prevent the offense getting bogged down. If anyone can still thrive 48 hours after a grueling do-or-die matchup, it’s her.
She knocked down 3-pointers at a 43% clip during the regular season but has been even deadlier in the playoffs, with a 59% mark. Fiebich was on target with her only triple try in Game 4 against Las Vegas, though that snapped a streak of five straight contests with at least two made 3-pointers.
