The Liberty finally caught a much-needed break.

The first half of the Liberty’s season can be divided into three distinct sections: a strong start, a rocky middle and a promising ending.

The defending champions had several epic second-half rallies and dominant stretches during which they looked to be on a tier shared only with the Lynx.

Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu are All-Stars again, and Kennedy Burke is shooting a whooping 49.3% from deep, the best mark in the league among players who have attempted at least 50 3s.
