Liberty Rebound with Decisive Win Over Wings
6 Aug
Summary
- Liberty bounce back from embarrassing loss to Wings
- Contributions from across the roster, not just Ionescu
- Paige Bueckers shines for Wings despite the loss

In the latest WNBA action, the New York Liberty have bounced back from a previous loss to the Dallas Wings with a decisive 85-76 victory on Tuesday night. The Liberty, who were embarrassed by a 10-point defeat in Dallas last week, were determined to redeem themselves in front of their home crowd.
The Wings put up a scrappy effort, but the Liberty responded to every run with one of their own, ultimately pulling away in the fourth quarter to secure the win. While the Liberty didn't need another heroic performance from star player Sabrina Ionescu, they got valuable contributions from across the roster. Jonquel Jones recorded her 41st double-double with the team, Natasha Cloud added 12 points and 6 assists, and newcomers Emma Meesseman and Stephanie Talbot also had strong outings.
On the other side, Paige Bueckers, the frontrunner for this season's Rookie of the Year award, led the Wings with 21 points and 8 rebounds. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Liberty's balanced attack.
With the win, the Liberty improved their record to 19-10 on the season, solidifying their hold on second place in the WNBA standings. The Wings, on the other hand, fell to 8-22 and remain in the league cellar. The Liberty now get a much-needed two-day break before traveling to Dallas for the final matchup between the two teams this season.
