Connecticut Sun vs. New York Liberty Preview
The Sun were expected to be one of the worst teams in the WNBA this season after overhauling their roster. They traded away Alyssa Thomas and DiJonai Carrington and let DeWanna Bonner and coach Stephanie White join the Indiana Fever.
On the other hand, the Liberty entered the campaign as the favorites to win back-to-back WNBA championships. They lost Courtney Vandersloot in free agency but acquired Natasha Cloud from the Sun. Cloud has been fantastic for the defending champions early in the season.
