Becky Hammon has noticed how the New York Liberty revamped and reloaded after besting them in last year's WNBA Finals.
Former New York Liberty star and current Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon has often had to go to the back of the deck to take down her original WNBA employers.
Sunday's thriller came nearly a year after Las Vegas captured its second consecutive championship on Brooklyn hardwood, one where the Aces prevailed despite missing starters Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes. While New York has mostly matched last season's roster, Hammon took note of how new and old seafoam savants alike made them even more dangerous than last season's 32-win tally.
To Hammon's point, Jones and Stewart have each added facilitation to their expansive repertoires, on pace for career-bests in assists by averaging 3.3 and 3.8 respectively. Fiebich, on the other hand, has been one of the most impact freshmen on the WNBA circuit and many have her destined for the All-Rookie team at season's end.
Stewart had 21-point, 11-rebound double-double in the win while Jones fell just two boards shy of matching her with 15 points while also dishing out four assists as one of four New York leaders in the category.Even with Wilson's absence, the Liberty made no secret about how much they wanted to take Sunday's game considering what transpired last fall, even if they were far from pleased by the way they obtained it.
