The Liberty won their 1st championship in 2024. The Knicks won their 1st in 53 years in 2026. Can the 2026 Liberty keep the good times rolling in NYC?

Going through the play-by-play of the 4th quarter of that Tempo game and like... just look:

3:52 Mabrey d-board
3:46 Mabrey layup
3:06 Mabrey makes 3 FTS
3:00 Mabrey steal
2:56 Mabrey assist
2:16 Mabrey 3
1:51 Mabrey 3
1:15 Mabrey 3
1:15 Mabrey and-1
31.6 Mabrey 3

Wild.

Loved the class Marina Mabrey showed the youngin' Sonia Citron after Citron negated Mabrey's heater with an ultra-clutch shot.

Mabrey is 1 of 1, as she demonstrated with a 18-point in 3:14 stretch reminiscent of Philly is Unrivaled.

SONIA CITRON CALLS GAME OFF A JUMP BALL 🤯

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Sonia Citron and the Mystics could celebrate their own clutch game-winner tonight … much-needed 2nd home win that was nearly taken away by an unreal run by Marina Mabrey.

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Brittney Sykes hasn't scored yet in Q3 ... Mystics have all the momentum here in front of their home crowd, lead the Tempo 57-43 after a deep 3 from Sonia Citron.

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Sonia Citron was like —ok, I see you Slim, but so can I— on that pull-up mid-ranger (former teammates) ... then a huge defensive breakdown for Toronto leads to a wide-open Michaela Onyenwere layup. Mystics lead Tempo 46-37

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Michaela Onyenwere has been so good for the Mystics of late ... the 2021 Rookie of the Year could explore her star potential this year. #wnba #wbb

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Brittney Sykes has missed a free throw, her first in a while (she was 13-13 in the Tempo's last game) ... but she has 14 points, including a 3 that is the difference right now as Toronto leads 31-28

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Brittney Sykes up to 4-4 on FTs ... dangerous when she gets going from the stripe ... has 8 points ... she enters shooting 91.6% on the second most total attempts in the league #wnba #wbb #Tempo

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

This is Brittney Sykes' 2nd game back in DC since leaving the Mystics for the Storm last season, 1st as a member of the #Tempo ... she has 6p after 1 ... Lauren Betts has 8p for WAS on 4-4 FG, she's gonna get minutes tonight with Kiki Iriafen out, watch out

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Temi Fagbenle is back tonight for the Tempo ... Nyara Sabally and Kiki Rice out

Stephanie White said it best: "This is what Caitlin does."

[Zack Ward @Zack_L_Ward]

Excitement surrounding Caitlin Clark feels brand new. For me, it actually was my first time seeing her play in person, but for all CC fans it was refreshing—and exhilarating—to witness her first signature clutch moment in the #WNBA.

Jonquel Jones got a standing ovation as her No. 35 jersey was retired by Connecticut just before the Sun played the New York Liberty on Monday. “I want to say thank you to this organization for taking a chance on me … Thank you to the fans.” https://t.co/C6DGhuWL1y
