The team looked on the backfoot right from tip-off. After scoring 34 points in the first half, Liberty added 28 in the second. This was the team’s first defeat after a three-game winning streak. They will be hoping to bounce back strongly by putting up a strong performance on Tuesday. With only 4 games left to go in the regular season, Liberty are ninth in the WNBA standings. If they want to make the playoffs, they will have to have positive results in their upcoming fixture.
