Two games in, it’s clear the Liberty are big winners. The rest of the league, not so much.

With 2.9 seconds left, Sophie Cunningham made the inbounds pass to Clark at the top of the 3-point line. However, as the second-year sharpshooter tried to make a play, Liberty guard Natasha Cloud made a crucial stop and stripped the ball away from her.

The New York Liberty put forth a dominant effort against the Chicago Sky in the first road game of their championship defense.

Jonquel Jones had 26 points and 12 rebounds and Sabrina Ionescu added 23 points, including the winning free throws with 2.9 seconds left, to lead the New York Liberty over the Indiana Fever 90-88 on Saturday.

The Indiana Fever went toe-to-toe with the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty on Saturday. While coming out on the losing end of the 90-88 game, the Fever proved they belong in the league's upper-tier with their strong game against the WNBA's best team.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White reached a boiling point with officiating following her team's 90-88 loss to the defending champion New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Natasha Cloud is already feeling at home with the New York Liberty after her first two games of the season. Cloud led the Liberty in scoring on Thursday in their 99-74 win over the Chicago Sky.

But that moment was an example of who Cloud is and why it was so easy for the Liberty to embrace her.
