Leonie Fiebich: "JJ's a great player. Love to be on the floor with her. Everybody on this team loves it." (Q: @GeoffJMags)
Brondello on the 2nd half: “we stayed to our principles…anticipation…I thought Stewie was great as a roamer…they were reading off each other.” (Fleurantin) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Jones on Ionescu: “She’s grown and has stepped into everything…she wants to be great. She wants to do the little things to help us win.” Jones told her before the 4th that she would be the “nail in the coffin” (Kaplan) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Jones on Fiebich: “She’s playing amazing…her basketball IQ is very high…there’s very rarely a time when she takes a bad shot.” (Ehrlich) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Jones on Harrison: “She looks extremely comfortable…she’s really understands what we’re trying to do out there.” (Frimpong) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Brondello on the 2nd half: “We got a little more disruptive, a little more physical in our actions…we stared moving the ball…we got smarter in how we played.” (Frimpong) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Fiebich on when she knew Jones was back: “First play of the game. That easy.” (Powell) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Brondello: “Classic JJ. Her ability to se and the pressure she gets in the post…she worked really hard.” (Megdal) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Jonquel Jones: “It felt great to be back out there…my teammates held it down when I was out…I really enjoyed the moment…my conditioning, I feel like I’m at an 8 of 10. I’m in a good spot.” (Kenney) #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
The Liberty is 8-0 when Jonquel Jones plays at least 10 minutes in a game this season. The average margin of victory in those games is 19.75 #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
SIXTHabelle Harrison. Start the 6WOTY campaign #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Let’s go to Jonquel Jones for comment: #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
That post-shootaround nap appears to have helped Breanna Stewart 5-of-7, three assists/boards in this second half #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
18 three-point tries in three-plus periods for the Liberty tonight Over the past three seasons, the Liberty have tried 20 three-pointers or less on only five occasions, by far the lowest in the league (other than Golden State, of course). They are 2-3 in such games #WNBA…
Either I can't hear the whistle or Damiras Dantas just got away with a HACK on Isabelle Harrison. Liberty fans quickly confirm the latter. #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Liberty getting beat on 2nd chances (7 points on 4 boards, makes it feel like more). Hard to see them losing such battles with a full strength Jones and Meesseman in the lineup #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
Fantastically pesky defense by Cloud on Mitchell. #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
As grit takes over, Jonquel Jones really starting to make her presence felt. Huge and-one narrows this back to one #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
The start you want to see from Leonie Fiebich, who was limited to three tries from the field in H1 #WNBA #LightItUpNYL
With the three not falling, the Liberty narrow the gap with some grittyness: Fiebich and Stewart go to the line, Ionescu with a sneaky swipe that kills an Indy possession. A pair of threes each for Cunningham and Mitchell are the difference early, 46-42 Fever leads after a…
