they're just fucking hooping out there (flat for Pauline this time, and subtly great spacing from Leo/JJ)

DeMarco mashing the Play Your Good Players Button. These starters were +13.2 NET, excluding low-leverage. Remove Leo and the foursome was still nearly +11 in triple the minutes.

a good hit-ahead (!!!) from Pauline, cash from Sabrina. Liberty playing with the most joy they've had all season(?):

again -- not forcing the initial PnR, quickly re-spacing, and boom, a great look:

MIN been better w/ early help vs. Stewie, predictably. Good job giving it up, Han ain't missing rn

041

Sabrina gives it up on First Side, but attacks as a spacer out of Second Side. Like her finding quick offense here:

051

look at Han!! (Phee has to kick)

Sabrina no longer getting to two feet at all, just killing her game

-- even this simple hit-ahead -- rough 2H start for Pauline but she has to keep going

some scattered thoughts: -- can't get away from JJ on the pop -- Pauline needs to attack Miles without a ball-screen -- probably need to find Stewie a rest -- need more/earlier hit-ahead passes, less dribbling the ball up the floor

MIN in big trouble if this the how they're (not) helping on Stewie drives:

Analyzing the New York Liberty's best weekend of the season, perhaps? Talked Sabrina Ionescu, Bec and Bek, but mostly NYL's defense, starting with their coverage on Olivia Miles.

props to DeMarco -- leaving Pauline in w/ five fouls and switching Leo onto Miles paid big dividends

JJ can't play in a crowd against this team -- gotta find more ways to get her on the pick-and-pop

let's see if NYL can counter MIN's really timely, aggressive switching:

one key tonight: the Liberty have been able to run on Minnesota -- nearly 18% transition frequency in the two previous matchups at 1.37 points per possession. excl. MIN, 12% trans freq% at 1.105 PPP

Played the final four minutes of the third, out there to begin the fourth. Seems fine:

Sabrina turns her ankle -- doesn't seem crazy but it's not what you want:
