They have to control the controllables, and that starts with taking care of the basketball. The team put forth a gritty effort before things went haywire, and they’re going to need to bring that energy into games the rest of the season. Still a lot of games to be played, so we gotta hang in there.”įor as rough as the team looked in the fourth, Brondello is 100 percent right. It’s a very emotional team, and we just gotta hang in there. We didn’t have good decisions on that end and we didn’t execute down on the other end, and Carrington comes off the bench and makes easy baskets. We were right there until the third quarter and fourth quarter, and all of a sudden, just went crazy.
We need all our best players to play well for us to win. They were putting a lot of pressure on Sabrina. That’s deflating when they’re getting such easy baskets and it was hard for us to score. It’s the experienced players that were doing it. Sometimes we’re own worst enemy because we turn the ball over, which is mind boggling and we don’t need to. Sandy Brondello spoke about the message she gave to the team in the locker room following the game, and said: For what it’s worth, they’re within striking distance of the sixth, seventh, and eighth seeds with games left against everyone in front of them in August, but they’ll need to start stacking up wins to get the good feeling back. The loss was the Liberty’s fourth in a row and they now find themselves in 11th place with 11 games. Sabrina Ionescu on Sun's advantages in fast break (25-12) and second-chance (16-9) points: "I think it was an accumulation of a lot of things, but those don’t help in clutch moments, when o-boards lead to kick out threes." #OwnTheCrown #WNBA- Myles July 19, 2022 Natasha Howard and Sami Whitcomb were the biggest culprits on that end as they coughed it 11 times in this game. On the day, New York coughed it up 19 times and Connecticut scored 23 points off of those turnovers.

In the fourth, the Liberty only shot 4-14 from the field and committed six turnovers, and the Sun took full advantage.

Despite not getting a friendly whistle (the Sun finally got called for their first foul of the game in the third quarter and out shot the Liberty at the free throw line 24-6 on the day), Sandy Brondello’s club hung tough in the first 30 minutes of the game and trailed by three entering the fourth quarter. On Thursday morning, the New York Liberty hit the road to face the Connecticut Sun. However, if you fall apart when victory is within your reach, then the concern level has to go up a few notches. If you have a bad break here or there, we can understand. At the same time, how you lose can say a lot about you.
