New York Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on the Liberty in this one. I think that New York has been the far better team and while there have been spots and situations where the Liberty kind of coast through games against inferior teams, point differential matters in this tournament and I think that the Liberty show that here against a weak Sun team. I’ll lay the wood here with the Liberty.
