WNBA Full Game Highlights: New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever | September 10 2024 Women's Basketball

the same as they were Friday for both of these teams start on Friday night against Connecticut so I think it look a good start well Melissa Smith out of Baylor was guarding off the screen Stewart the penetration and pitch on Friday we saw some of those shots more comfort from this Liberty team in terms of where they're supposed to be on the floor of Team it really showed them hey this is what we got to work on and we got to do it quick Courtney vanderson said the last time she put for shot I mean how can you not be it's like the first day of school I create and do just that set up for teammates there's so many other people that you have to be worried about Stewie from the same spot but you got to be Melissa Smith is so used to being in that's nice Jones gets her own rebound happy about being at home she told me she expects every of friends and Coach Sandy rondel told me that now not only and compete in her home of the Syracuse na I mean Stewart's also not that far from Yukon where she had a lot of on and on with how they were able to just put this group work if they're going to do it right and they've all been looking forward to the change of pace jqu Jones head tohe head to the bench because she's now picked up Tu the home opener for the New York Liberty ear getting it around game this season because there are so many people that are going to be able to one night and then another player gets hot the next and recognizing who's got the hot man new head coach Christy sides wants them to do his run but Courtney vanders passed that didn't look to overpass it she had the pull up looking to get back in shape and of course she's coming out of concussion protocol week before they had game one so not a lot of time together coach to go there going to be another one this year I asked bajalan how do you know quickly the the other way for the fever that's Lexi hle see her back in a liberty uniform was in New York from at the prime of her career refusing the O boards are huge she and it's important for Indiana to keep their cool stay compot State 19 on Friday against Connecticut came back and put the in the first quarter doson on the attack she turns on the deck she can put it on the floor like a guard and that was one of the things that she said in the preseason in her growth over she's done and that's what's maintained her career I think that's advice we could all here as she was grabbing the basket to full players on this Liberty team that can start the offense Stuart for 12 points that she had on Friday she's at 13 Stewart has scored the last seven points home just really exciting five from the three-point line on Friday in DC today four for five first quarter Epiphany Prince lineup Sandy brondello can do Sabrina is another one I mean there's just too many to choose fting championships two gold medals so say a rookie might to the W Aaliyah yeah coach sides told her listen I told you wheel and deal hole before the buzzer whatever you move on like we said 40 games this year you fing out where she's going to be open with this group if she brings that down guards can get to it she's always been very good at that leading score on this team had 20 points on Friday has yet this is an Indiana team that went 5 and 31 last SE I didn't see hostile act but that's what they're looking at she looked like she got a pretty 75% from the free throw line in college you think going to ask a lot of her here and that can only help the fever last season that is where fever had coached Christy s with an assistant like you said and she's been coaching for both those free throws to score for Indiana remains at 16 bwell off the screen this is Kelsey Mitchell's score inside a bunch of plays and then we see your pop everybody can score from any position and it's position B be able to shoot everywhere Boston quick first Vander Sloop heads up this possession Jones attracts two now it's Sloop top of the meantime Brianna Stewart leading the Liberty in score do not want to play with her why so many people at EAS together they had a group chat trying to figure out how they could make this all work because it's families involved and and and careers and steuart giving B oh that pass back to back plays just great execution both in the half court she attracts all the attention was open in the corner they can't teams can't focus on just one player and if they do I want to be the only one on my team because I want to get mine no they quarter points a game and almost eight boards a game but the Liberty's defense today has been clutched much better than to get used to his playing defense together more time I mean you got out a little Grace in that [Music] [Applause] department yonescu in the game here's hle up against yones yeah it was a tough season last year and so Boston and they've got Erica wheeler back again a great move that's a great place for it Stewart 53 from the outside so far Brianna Stewart taking it to the basket she's the one player that's getting to the rim getting some Wallace is 28 sometimes you expect there to be more coverage but she got past Mitchell foul count here for New York Courtney Vander slute table ready to check in after the first free throw in pre-season that she was just excited to be able to walk to see her grandp and and in addition to you know the the players now and you can't tell in this first half dolon that they played together in college it's going to be a little different and Dolson said that you on the break yonescu thought about it but in the first half still three but the recognition by Sabrina oncu she may have surprised you didn't dunk it just kidding I'm waiting for it to happen and and another shout out all these little things making a difference Stuart drives and it was the right time in her career to take a new Step as we look at Mel Bridges the Nets forward that can really appreciate this level of talent Hoops turd look at the mismatch Stewart asking for the bat Works cuz oneon-one she's just killing IND big screen by Dolson leaves Caleb Thon on this Liberty Squad more assists than points for Yue no look to Epiphany Prince these ladies and she's continued to support them she's playing with a lot of confidence and that's exactly where she thrives is her it's not nice to steal things Tiff yo those are the plays that then had knee surgery she is out today with some right knee [Music] stuff in the they stand out that's what she wants right as they should yonescu on the attack the Baseline bounce pass down here in the second quarter coach rondella wants to see their chemistry continue to bip and I think you're going to see them continue to Blossom if they do that I know the on Friday cut the Gap to three very much important and you mentioned zor in that first half that you just have to realize that in the W that you got to keep playing hard see a lot of different people get in the ball game to get assertive same starters as we're at the center Stewart goes to the ground pick fouled out in the fever game on Friday put it out there I'm going for the career high 38 but hey push notice the double team by the Liberty on Boston forcing them to play ability for Boston 2 to play out of that double team that takes skill and Rec nothing open for Brianna Stewart that means ER wheeler oh behind the back MVP she was with the fever back then well that's where she can put on another beer starts the transition right back to creeping up she's at 34 points right now Cappy at 4 PR surpris 40 point game was against the Indiana Fever in 2000 so had her share of good games against the fever she's always been but it's hard if you can't get a stop with the team like New York John call Jones now the second Liberty player inbound the ball a little too early a little too giddy cuz they moving it around this is Smith away from her career so she's three we're going record by record here I see Stewie running but they go to yonescu 15 from the floor Brianna Stewart from the field this Liberty team so far create opportunities I mean not only for her but for her teammates you notice the fever are wasting no time yones topping your opponent hand off to Prince where you can play through it interesting to see what Sandy brondel will do trying to take thoron goes to calwell Stewart calling for the basketball she's met with multiple Defenders n points Chef Stewie you saw JJ over there like unlike anyone's Pantry let's be honest it is put a guard on her she goes over top R she plays a little bit differently than she did when she first got here the best of the best in Seattle too Ander everyone's a miss match definitely a height Advantage oh he does it are we shocked the hype around her in this team and her abilities on the basketball court are special Stuart and her bar plays deut back in her home state it can go one way or the other oh behind the line Liberty general manager he wanted this it's over no no keep going [Applause] impact the WNBA record will Sandy brondello keep Stewart in the game that is the question oh siing up her pre no call [Applause] line she was a a for the game so fun in control Stewart has space Laur and bar Clays my goodness she takes a breather as she should 40 facing single Defenders she won't have double teams on her her entire career but it's it's possible because she's got so much and her ability to switch all over the floor I mean 2.8 points per game if she doesn't score one coaches have talked about the fact that there's 40 games this season more gam Sandy wants this team's chemistry to continue to build so you want to play is in the seat that she's in John quell's been efficient too six of 10 she has the ability to have double doubles night in into the back when they can pull from all the experiences that they've had work that John PA Jones Courtney v and gr Stewart have done together they can pull on that to help get this camaraderie together faster and that's huge here's Melissa Smith for their offense to to come by it was low where Hall could get it jump she was anticipating that call but here's a jump ball and the smile on ht's face she's a fan how much I love this this game by hu and says shoot it every time so they know New York Liberty she's ready gets the Applause from the Liberty Faith active that you you come to a new country a place that you've got to get used to in the P WNBA which has been a journey she's gotten better and better wondering when we'd see Willoughby and willby has a physical player plays defense that's Mitchell ycu little in and out kicks it back to Han Shu she puts it up I've never seen anything like it actually I've never seen and I just remember think wow that that girl is confident just took the Stewart used to describe what's so important on this floor is confidence SL on the record that they got to they got to know that maybe that's why they wanted to come in you're cold and yes come in you got to be a spark and that's not very true mindset has to for the Liberty show the Brianna Stewart show she's got 45 points she has a Comm just N8 and eight now I've seen you standing up I saw you throw some T-shirts to some fans as well have you been doing when you see knock down those threes and can she borrow that one for you to come out to a liberty game because because just a support I mean say first

transition for her she says Turner walk all the playgrounds maybe Broadway shows reason why Courtney came here I mean they they were to get yourself to move I mean before maybe 60 that was a little a much if Grace Burger on the Indiana side first shot in the W get Grace in and on Friday I mean burning more calories than we did in our cardio this morning but when she learns the system and gets acclimated into Indiana here's Burger again Sandy brondell is keeping a couple starters on the floor here but not still working to get back into shape hu deflects it stays into some strategy on who's
