The New York Liberty achieved a franchise-best equal of 7-0 start by defeating the Connecticut Sun 100-52 in front of a sellout crowd. Sabrina Ionescu led the game with 18 points and contributed significantly to the Liberty's record-tying 19 three-pointers. The team displayed exceptional teamwork, as reflected in their 19 assists on their first made baskets. Ionescu emphasized the importance of the event, aiming to reach new fans. The Liberty seeks to avoid the eighth-game loss they experienced during their inaugural 1997 season when they next face the Mystics.
They didn't know we played four in six days, Ionescu said of the Brooklyn faithful.
Any time you get your butt kicked you can learn a lot, said Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon.
There's no one-on-one, no hero ball, just understanding of searching for our best shot, Ionescu said.
The first five did an amazing job, noted Harrison.
