Indiana has rapid revenge after Sabrina Ionescu hit a 3-pointer with less than a second left to give New York a 90-87 home win against the Fever this past Friday.
Now the scene shifts to Indianapolis. The Fever should shoot and play better. The Liberty just were able to nip the Fever at the buzzer despite shooting 47 percent from the field, hitting 13 of 26 3-pointers and making 15 of 18 free throws compared to Indiana shooting 42 percent from the field, missing 15 of 18 3-pointers and connecting on 10 of 13 free throws.
While Ionescu is back after suffering a serious ankle injury last season, the Liberty still is missing Natasha Howard, Kiah Stokes and Rebecca Allen. All are playing overseas. This hurts New York's depth. All five of the Liberty's starting five played major minutes against Indiana. That could mean a fatigue factor in this quick rematch.
