The New York Liberty have started the WNBA season with a dominant 7-0 record, their best start since 1997, highlighted by a 100-52 rout of the Connecticut Sun. This victory marked the second-largest margin of victory in WNBA history and set a franchise record for the biggest win. The Liberty matched their own league record by hitting 19 three-pointers, showcasing their offensive depth and unselfish play with 29 assists. Key contributors included Sabrina Ionescu with 18 points, and Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart, and Leonie Fiebich, who all scored 13 points each. The team demonstrated remarkable shooting efficiency, hitting 68% from the field in the first half and 62% overall, with a strong focus on teamwork rather than individual heroics. As defending champions, the Liberty's depth and star power position them as strong contenders to return to the Finals this season.
