Fever and Liberty Set for a High-Stakes Showdown: Which Team Will Unleash the Ultimate Offensive Surge?
The Liberty are a different side of the league. They are reigning champions and are once again expected to be in the fight for another title. The team still is led by Breanna Stewart, and they have Sabrina Ionescu, but not having Jonquel Jones for a portion of this year has made things more difficult. Stewart is still playing at a high level, averaging 19.5 points per game, and she is doing it rather efficiently (if you ignore the 21% she shoots from deep on three attempts per game). Ionescu is carrying her load at 18.8 points per game, but she is wildly inefficient. There are some games where she misses seven or eight threes, and overall she is only shooting 38% from the floor. The team upgraded their point guard by adding Natasha Cloud to the team in the offseason. Cloud is bringing solid defense and leading the team in assists, making this roster, when healthy, easily one of the best two starting lineups in the WNBA. They haven’t really been blowing teams out this season, or even lately. Over their last three wins, they have been by ten, nine, and seven points. Their losses have both been by nine.ÂÂ
