‘Breanna Stewart Took More Of A Leadership Role’: Liberty Firing Chris DeMarco Draws Blunt Verdict From WNBA Journalist

Remember what happened in Game 2 against Atlanta? The Liberty were trailing by three with 4.3 seconds left in overtime. They still had a reset timeout, which would have allowed them to advance the ball and attempt a more organised three-pointer. But they didn’t use it. Even Atlanta head coach Karl Smesko was surprised. “I thought they had a timeout left. I was expecting it to be advanced, but it wasn’t,” he said. The postgame explanations made the situation even more uncomfortable for New York.
