After the Aces secured a second consecutive WNBA title, Kelsey Plum took a shot at the Liberty’s performance and team dynamic.
“I think we knew we hadn’t played our best basketball,” Plum said. “We also knew that, as much as they’re a team, they’re not a team, if that makes sense. They’re really good individual players, but they don’t care about each other. And you can tell in those moments. They revert back to individual basketball.”
“That couldn’t be further from the truth,” Ionescu said. “I believe that I’ve never been on a team that’s been more committed to one another than what has been like this year. We had players from all over come together in such a short amount of time and commit to one another — commit to role changes — to try to win. And for a team as new as we were with so many different role changes to come in and be in the Finals is unheard of.
While repeating that there is no excuse for her and the Liberty’s performance in the series, which they lost 3-1 to the Aces, Ionescu said she received an injection ahead of both Game 1 and 2 in Las Vegas “just to be able to play.”
