New York Liberty 2018 season: 7–27, scoring 77.7 points per game and allowing 84.8 (-7.1 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Liberty finished 7–27, 11th in the league standings, with a -8.4 net rating that ranked 11th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 11th in offensive rating and 10th in defensive rating. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were turnovers (18.4 a game, 2nd-most in the league) and getting to the free-throw line (20 attempts, 11th). The offense ran through Tina Charles, who scored 19.7 a night — 25% of the team's points. The high points: a 23-point rout of the Sky on Jul 15. The lows: a 13-game losing streak (Jul 17–Aug 19) and a 26-point loss at the Sparks on Jun 24. They went 2–19 against teams at .500 or better, and faded late, 0–10 over the last 10. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Tina Charles the main reason to watch and its turnover problem the most urgent fix.
