Jonquel is lucky that the refs called the block.

Libs gotta keep feeding her though. They have no hope once she catches the ball around the rim

The bullet pass inside from Stewie to Jones? Sheesh


This is a good game. I'm nervous because Sabrina is getting her ass handed to her defensively right now

Yeah that was the one. NY have had few extra pass good looks otherwise.

Agreed about SI on D. She looks a couple of gears too slow.

Sun doing a better job executing on both ends.

NY had a bad 1st Q but have closed the gap. A bit lucky.

Too many blocks against and too many TOs in a clunky stagnant O.

Agreed, the Sun have been very physical on both ends, giving the Liberty a taste of our own medicine.

Yeah, i said this earlier in the thread but out of any team we've played, the Sun have been a bad match up for her. The splits versus Connecticut aren't good.

Another excellent pass by Stewie. She's taking what CT is giving her.

Super quick 2nd Q, low scoring, like both teams have to settle into the game more.

Missed chances through blocks and TOs have reversed this Q against Sun. Shooting went cold, too, another reversal.

Took a long time for Liberty to get back the lead. Let's see how this affects both teams in the second half.

Amazing response by Suns to start the second half.

Hayes should have been pulled after the 4th foul was called on her. But to be honest, she should have 2 fouls now. Three were mystery home cooked ones that had commentators puzzled.

Now momentum shifts again.
