Sabrina needs to stop pressing

Sandy needs to tell her to relax.

How the hell did Wilson get away with that foul on Jones?

Ionescu needs to get going. Luckily for her, Sloot's picked up her slack. Jones needs to pick it up too.

So many wasted open looks from the Liberty. They're there, just gotta execute.

Brondello doesn't challenge of course.

Offense has got nothing right now.

Does Liberty have anyone off the bench they can try to get in to change it up? They can't buy a shot.

It was supposed to be Sloot, but she might have emptied the tank in the first half. Thornton is the 3 and D off the bench.

13-0 run and Liberty have no legs. Brondello with zero adjustments coming out of the half finally remembers she has timeouts.

Missed easy layup followed by an open three followed by a turnover and easy fast break. Liberty skipped this half and went right to Game 4.

Aces down 21 and Hammon calls a timeout for lack of defense. Take notes, Sandy.

Sabrina outplayed Chelsea in the first 2 games and the Liberty won. Sabrina flopped in Game 3, Chelsea was solid, and an easy Aces victory. Not saying that matchup will solely determine the series ... but it's very important!
