The Liberty’s first home playoff win since 2015 was just preamble — they’re hoping an encore Tuesday over the Mystics will be the payoff.
A victory would clinch their first-round best-of-three series, and ensure they can rest rather than sweat out a do-or-die Game 3 in Washington.“Most definitely. We have an opportunity to do it here at home in front of our fans,” Jonquel Jones said. “Not to look too far ahead, but to be able to stay here and get ready for the next round, to not go into a hostile environment in D.C. because they have great fans as well.
Sabrina Ionescu makes a 3 pointer against Elena Delle Donne of the Mystics during Round 1 Game 1 of the 2023 WNBA Playoffs at Barclays Center.But having a former MVP like Jones, two-time WNBA All-Star Ionescu or an impressive litany of others makes the Liberty a legitimate threat for their first title.“We have trust in each other,” Jones said. “We have [faith in] everybody’s abilities that it can be the next man up. It’s not just one person.
And she moved to guard Elena Delle Donne in the second half, Jones’ length helping to hold the two-time MVP to just three points after the break.Michelle Farsi/New York Post
