The WNBA resumed service last Friday, and the new New York Liberty superteam will be expected at every meeting of the season. In their first home game after an opening loss to the Washington Mystics’ iron defense, the offense got the upper hand thanks to a simply historic Breanna Stewart against the Indiana Fever.
Despite the sweep in the Nets Playoffs in the first round by the Sixers, yesterday there was still a lot of entertainment at the Barclays Center for a Sunday afternoon. On the front page? The homecoming of the WNBA franchise from Brooklyn, the New York Liberty, eagerly awaited because of its huge off-season. A crazy Free Agency where we could see a real superteam being formed, with at the center of the project Sabrina Ionescu, already present for three seasons, in association with Breanna Stewart, considered the best in the world because she has already won everything in the NCAA, WNBA and Europe. The player who already has two signature shoe models at Puma is proud to have joined the Liberty and made it known after her legendary performance against the Indiana franchise.
“Feels like I made the right decision.”

This first match on his new floor is to be marked with a white stone. She first broke the franchise record, set at 40 points in 2010 by Cappie Pondexter. Then, with her six shots from the parking lot, she became the second player in history to record 45 points, more than 10 rebounds and 6 3-pointers in a game after Maya Moore. All in just… three quarters. Yes, 30 minutes. Half an hour to put Indiana down and mark the history of a franchise it joined at the start of the year. And after this historic perf, we know why the New York Liberty will have a target in the back until the end of the season in October.
