Seattle Storm vs New York Liberty Prediction

These two teams just faced off on Friday with the Liberty with the Storm finding success and it will be much of the same here. The Storm’s defense is going to have no answer fro the Lbierty offense again, and that will be the difference here as New York is going to cruise. The Liberty are going to jump out to a fast start, and this game will get out of hand early. Back the Liberty against the spread.
