How to Watch Liberty at Mercury Game 3: Stream WNBA Live, TV Channel

Satou Sabally and the Mercury blew out Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty on Wednesday night to force a game 3 on Friday night in Phoenix.

After splitting the first two games of their first-round matchup, the New York Liberty and Phoenix Mercury face off in a win-or-go-home Game 3 in Phoenix on Friday night. The Liberty took Game 1 in overtime on the road 76-69, but were dominated at home in Game 2, losing 86-60, setting up a high-stakes clash in front of a Mercury crowd. Key to this matchup will be Breanna Stewart’s knee injury. Stewart sprained her left MCL in Game 1 and underperformed in Game 2, managing just six points in 20 minutes. Her mobility and ability to impact both ends may be limited, forcing the Liberty to find another answer to keep a playoff run alive.

On the Phoenix side, the team’s confidence is surging. Game 2 was a statement win showcasing strong defense which forced New York into sloppy shooting and numerous turnovers, while Phoenix spread the scoring among its stars. Alyssa Thomas, Satou Sabally, Kahleah Copper, DeWanna Bonner and Kathryn Westbeld all made key contributions.

The frontcourt battle will matter quite a bit. With Stewart possibly limited, much of New York’s interior work and rebounding will fall to Jonquel Jones. Phoenix, meanwhile, will try to exploit mismatch opportunities, especially with Thomas orchestrating both offensively and defensively.

Tune in Friday night to see which of these two teams can extend the dream of winning a WNBA title and which team will go home empty-handed.
