The Liberty’s Record-Breaking Start Is a Warning to the WNBA: Last Year Was Just the Beginning

NY LIBERTY DROP 48-POINT NUKE ON SUN, TIE FRANCHISE’S BEST START — AND YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT By Your Sleep-Deprived, Overcaffeinated Liberty Beat Reporter Nwo Sparrow

Brooklyn, NY — Folks, I’m not sure what kind of cosmic energy the Liberty tapped into tonight, but whatever it was, the Connecticut Sun might need therapy after this one. A 48-point win? Forty-eight?! That’s not a basketball game , that’s a demolition derby where only one car showed up with a flamethrower.

Let’s put this in perspective: The Liberty didn’t just break their franchise record for largest win margin , they yeeted it into the stratosphere. The previous record? A measly 34 points. Tonight? A cool 48. That’s the second-biggest beatdown in WNBA history. The Sun didn’t just lose; they got vaporized by a Liberty squad that apparently decided basketball is more fun when the other team forgets how to score.

Stewie & Cloud:TheTerror Twins

Breanna Stewart and Natasha Cloud didn’t just play well , they broke reality with a +44 plus/minus. That’s the fifth-best in WNBA history, and honestly, it feels like they should’ve gotten a trophy just for that. Stewie was out here dropping buckets like it was a YMCA pickup game, and Cloud? Let’s just say if Connecticut had a “No Entry” sign for her, she bulldozed right through it.

Jonquel Jones : One Woman Gang

Jonquel Jones casually tossed up 13 points and 11 rebounds, because of course she did. Fun fact: When JJ gets a double-double, the Liberty are now *27–0*. That’s not a stat — that’s a prophecy. Someone check her locker for a crystal ball, because this woman clearly knows the future.

Assists? More Like Assassins

The Liberty started the game with 19 straight assisted buckets — second-most in WNBA history. That’s not unselfish basketball; that’s a synchronized swimming routine with a jump shot( yeah i made that up ) . Every pass was crisp, the chemistry was on point and you can tell that the NY Liberty are not resting in their 2024 championship win. They want it again.

Three-Point Showdown

Ten days after setting the WNBA record for most threes in a game (19), the Liberty said, “Why not do it again?” Because apparently, records are just suggestions to this team. If they keep this up, the league might start checking the rims for magnets.

7–0: History Repeats (But Hopefully With a Better Ending)

With this win, the Liberty tied the ’97 squad for the franchise’s best start. Let’s all collectively knock on wood that this season doesn’t end the same way (side-eyes the Comets dynasty).

If the Liberty keep playing like this, the rest of the league might just petition to move them to the NBA. Either way, I’m buying stock in the hype train .

Next stop: The Liberty at Washington Mystics June 5th . Stay tuned.

Final Score: Liberty 102, Sun 54 (Yes, really.)

Vocal Opinion

The 2024 New York Liberty are playing with a chip on their shoulder so big, you’d think they got snubbed for a playoff spot last year instead of winning the whole dang thing. There’s no championship hangover here, just pure, unrelenting hunger. They’re dropping records like bad habits, treating every game like it’s Game 7, and absolutely humiliating opponents by 48 points like they’re still proving something. Breanna Stewart’s out here playing like she’s got a personal vendetta against the rim, and Sabrina Ionescu’s pulling up from the logo like her rings are backordered. This isn’t a team coasting on legacy; it’s a squad rewriting the WNBA’s history books just for fun.

If you didn’t know better, you’d swear this Liberty team woke up and chose violence every single night. No complacency, no mercy, just straight-up domination. They’re 7-0, matching the best start in franchise history, and doing it with the swagger of underdogs instead of defending champs. Jonquel Jones is grabbing double-doubles like they’re free samples, and the whole squad’s dishing assists like they get bonus points for teamwork. Whatever fire fueled them last season? It’s still burning, and the rest of the league is getting scorched. The Liberty aren’t defending a title—they’re building a dynasty, one 48-point demolition at a time.
