Scouting report

The Liberty finished 32–8, 2nd in the league standings, with a +10.3 net rating that ranked 2nd of 12. They were strong at both ends — 2nd in offensive rating, 3rd in defensive rating. Their calling cards were three-point volume (13.6 makes a game, 1st) and shot-making (53.9% eFG, 2nd); the soft spot, getting to the free-throw line (20.5 attempts, 11th). The offense ran through Breanna Stewart, who scored 23 a night — 26% of the team's points, though the on/off numbers point to Jonquel Jones as the one they can least afford to lose — +14.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: an 8-game winning streak (Aug 18–Sep 7) and a 38-point rout of the Aces on Aug 6. The lows: a 17-point loss at the Aces on Jun 29. They went 8–3 against teams at .500 or better and 7–3 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender, and a lack of free throws was the one thing that could trip them up.
