UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones closed shootaround at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday morning by getting shots up beyond the arc. One after another, after another, after another, the shots hit net.
They did early in the night, too, to lead an offensive attack that dazzles when it's at its best and lived up to the orange"Bring the Heat" T-shirts meant for the Connecticut Sun. They hit one after another as the New York Liberty popped off for a 37-point first quarter that they rode out to aNew York is one game from clinching its first Finals berth since 2002. Game 4 is Sunday at Mohegan Sun .
The second came on a third chance in a sequence showcasing how connected the Liberty came into Game 3. Laney missed the 3 and Jones rebounded it, but missed her own putback. On the rebound, she tipped out to Stewart, who made the extra cross-court pass to Ionescu. Courtney Vandersloot followed with a four-point run.
“We know what she’s capable of making, but she was at her very best tonight and that really got us off to a great start,” Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello said. “She’s the MVP. The MVP is not going to miss too many shots.” If there were a barometer of limited energy, the Liberty sucked it all up and left the Sun with none. Connecticut looked flat and lost. Frustration set in with a dust-up on the bench at the end of the first quarter and White, who called their early energy poor, slamming a clipboard late in the second.
It was an unlucky blow to the Sun, who most missed Allen’s length on defense, versatility and her ability to knock down shots. She was 4-of-6 from 3 in the Game 1 win and set the Sun tone early.
