The New York Liberty have made it to the Commissioner’s Cup championship game for the third time, following a streak of seven straight wins. This achievement has been a precursor to bigger things for the team in the past, with the Liberty reaching the WNBA Finals in each of the previous two instances.
Recent Performance
The Liberty’s recent success can be attributed to their strong team performance, with the entire roster being healthy for the first time this season. The team’s center, Jonquel Jones, noted that a high number of teams that make it to the Commissioner’s Cup championship go on to play in the WNBA Finals.
The Liberty will have to wait to see who their opponent will be in the championship game, as the Western Conference standings are still being determined. Las Vegas, Minnesota, and Dallas are all in contention for the top spot.
Upcoming Games
The Liberty will face the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday in a rematch of the WNBA’s first-ever game in 1997. The game will be a celebration of the league’s 30th anniversary.
