During a dead-ball situation with nearly six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, broadcaster Ryan Ruocco discussed similarities between two of the toughest places to play in the WNBA, the Barclays Center and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Just before the quote, Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu canned a 30-foot 3-pointer to extend New York’s lead to 81-68. The shot was one of Ionescu’s three 3-pointers of the evening.
