New York put on a defensive masterclass in their 76-69 win Sunday . The Liberty held Phoenix to 32.5 percent shooting from the field and 23.1 percent from three, including a combined 4-for-28 from starters Satou Sabally and Monique Akoa Makani.
These numbers may not be sustainable, though.
The Liberty sported a middle-of-the-pack defense — sixth in the league with 80.3 points allowed per game — this season, while the Mercury averaged 82.8 points a contest.
