Series Recap

This season, the Liberty are 2-1 against the Dream. Their last encounter resulted in a 79-72 victory for the Liberty after overcoming a significant first-half deficit.

Challenges for Liberty

The absence of Breanna Stewart, who has been sidelined due to a knee injury, has been felt by the Liberty; they have a record of 17-7 with her and 5-7 without her. The inconsistent performance has also been a concern, with crucial moments in matches leading to missed opportunities according to Coach Sandy Brondello.

Aiming for Success

The Dream, having turned their fortunes around after six consecutive losing seasons, are riding the momentum with recent victories, particularly led by Allisha Gray, who scored 27 points against the Lynx last Thursday, marking her commitment to the MVP conversation according to Coach Karl Smesko.
