The New York Liberty have definitely had the advantage over the Washington Mystics in their last five head-to-head meetings, winning each one by wide margins in most of them. Although the Mystics have put up comparable numbers in a few games, they have been unable to keep up with the Liberty’s attack, which has routinely produced at least 85 points every game.
New York has been able to dominate the pace and the boards due to a balanced offense led by Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones. Despite Washington’s occasional displays of tenacity, the pattern indicates that the Liberty’s better playmaking and scoring depth may give them the advantage in this game once more.
