Rebecca Allen is making up for lost time.
“I thought this was a really good effort for us even thought we came out with a loss, I just think that if we play like this, we are going to get some wins down the stretch.” The “Spida” spins most impressive web with a new career-high “I thought we played really well,” Smith said. Who made the others you may ask, I’ll address that shortly. New York, however, made 11 three balls, including another parfaite shooting performance from Marine Johannès, who had four go in from long. For three quarters, the Liberty allowed the Sky to shoot under 17 percent from beyond the arc. Some incredible stats from tonight's game: is just the 2nd player to have 15+ points without missing a shot in TWO different games ( the other).Īug 7: 6-6 FG, 16 p Across the Timeline August 8, 2019Īmid the breakdown, for three quarters, the Liberty defensive front held their own against the second-best offense in the league. She noted that there weren’t “warm-up shots where standstill with no one in front of them.” And the Liberty made it a priority to “run people off the line.”
So again just a couple of little breakdowns that hurt us but they can’t get down the lane and get layups.”įor the first three-quarters of the game, Smith thought this defensive effort was a vast improvement. And we’re giving up layups and it can’t happen. “Our coverages were or you know, bigs possibly switching it and it and just didn’t get our bodies in front. “ just need to stop the ball,” head coach Katie Smith said following the loss.

The league assist leader cut through the lane, plowing through a New York defense that just wasn’t ready. While that wasn’t recorded as a turnover, it was in execution. But following that defensive tenacity, Bria Hartley took an open jump shot in the lane, and her airball was received by Vandersloot. While New York gave Chicago three chances on that drive, the Liberty played tight defense, making it impossible for a shot to go in.
Allen followed those two rejections with a hand in Diamond Deshields’ face to prevent a score. But in less than twenty seconds, Rebecca Allen mustered up two blocks, including help on the first one from Reshanda Gray and Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe and a straight-up denial of Dolson. For the worst-rated defense in the league, that might come as a surprise. With under nine minutes to go against the Chicago Sky on Wednesday night, the New York Liberty staged a block party, and I mean that quite literally.
