Breanna Stewart acknowledged the significant challenge posed by injuries to key players Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich. The Liberty faced difficulties with a 1-3 road trip, culminating in a 90-81 loss to Atlanta. The team, now in third place, has experienced a downturn in performance since their strong start. The players showed signs of improvement during the second half, attempting to regroup during an upcoming homestand, starting with the Los Angeles Sparks. Stewart emphasizes a focus on immediate games rather than looking ahead.
Being down two starters for an extended period will be the hardest thing that we face all season. JJ and Leo being out has made it a little bit more of a challenge, which I'm willing to embrace.
The Liberty capped a dismal 1-3 road trip with a 90-81 loss in Atlanta. Despite 21 points and nine rebounds from Stewart, they have dropped into third place in the league standings.
We got better in the second half. Can't get much worse after the first half. We're not focused on the next Atlanta game, we're focused on the next one coming up.
The defending WNBA champions gave up 62 points in the paint to the Dream, who used their size advantage to avenge an earlier loss.
