August 18, in a key match of the regular WNBA season, the New York Liberty defeated the Las Vegas Aces 79-67 on the road, extending their winning streak to six games while also securing their playoff spot for this season in advance.
In the early stages of the game, the Liberty did not perform well, while the Aces flourished both inside and outside, quickly taking control of the game. However, the Liberty subsequently made adjustments, unleashing a 20-2 run to take the lead and continued to dominate, eventually securing a victory and extending their winning streak.
With this victory over the Aces, the Liberty’s record now stands at 23 wins and 4 losses, still ranking first in the league. They lead the ninth-place Atlanta Dream by 13 wins. Given their superior head-to-head record, even if the Liberty were to lose all of their remaining 13 games, they would not drop to ninth place, thus securing their playoff spot.
Thus, the Liberty becomes the first team in this season’s WNBA to secure a playoff spot in advance. However, this is not just their goal; they will continue to aim for the championship title.
Congratulations! The Liberty Defeats the Aces for a Winning Streak and Officially Secures a Playoff Spot. Author：Sports UEFA.Please indicate the source when reproduced：https://www.sportsuefa.com/basketball-headlines/38240.html
