Scouting report

The Liberty finished 22–12, 3rd in the league standings, with a +3.8 net rating that ranked 4th of 12. Defense was the identity — 3rd in defensive rating (97.9 per 100) against a 8th-ranked offense (101.8). They stood out for the offensive glass (13.7 a game, 1st), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. The offense ran through Tina Charles, who scored 19.7 a night — 25% of the team's points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +10 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 10-game winning streak (Aug 8–Sep 3) and a 30-point rout of the Mystics on Jul 16. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jun 23–Jul 2) and a 20-point loss at the Sun on Jun 14. They went 8–8 against teams at .500 or better and 6–2 in games decided by five or fewer, and finished hot, 10–0 over the last 10. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
