NEW YORK — Even with Brittney Griner, the Phoenix Mercury didn’t have enough to match the Liberty.
The Liberty took down the Mercury — who were without Griner in the first matchup between the two teams — on Wednesday night at Barclays Center. The home team came out victorious again, 99-95, as the Mercury suffered their seventh loss in eight games.
Liberty coach Sandy Brondello talked pregame about having respect for struggling teams like the Mercury, who now own the WNBA’s worst record at 3-13, since their eagerness to win makes them “dangerous.”
