Smith was particularly impactful, in my view, on the defensive end with the three blocks and excellent weak-side help.
But she had help up front in fellow forward, Jessica Shepard, who had 17 points on 5-7 from the field and 10 rebounds. Eight of those were defensive and then she turned and fired those Kevin Love-like outlet passes. It's quite a duo and makes one realize how strong the Lynx front line with the three-person rotation will be when 'Phee comes back (oh, 2 1/2-person roatation, considering how little Collier comes out).   One other thing those two do well, particularly Shep , is set screens for Willams to work off of. I've been seeing that since her college days.

Even though the Lynx only outrebounded the Liberty by one, it felt like more. Or maybe they got to a few more 50/50s.
The Liberty are just a different kind of team without Stewie...a good one that is well-coached, but missing a bit of the intuitiveness that Stewie brings.  Plus, other teams are double-teaming Ionescu relentlessly.....
