WNBAB #7 ANGEL RESSE & CHICAGO SKY Defeat NEW YORK LIBERTY
NEW YORK (AP) — Teresa Weatherspoon said she’ll always be “Liberty for life.”
Her homecoming to New York was special for the first-year Chicago Sky coach as her team came away with a win.
Marina Mabrey had 21 points, seven assists and six rebounds to help the Sky beat the Liberty 90-81 on Thursday night.
“This was was really for her,” said Chicago guard Dana Evans, who added 12 points. “We really wanted this for her more than anything.”
Weatherspoon starred as a player for the Liberty in the WNBA’s early days. She helped New York reach the finals in three of the league’s first four years. She was the heart and soul of those teams and was always adored by the crowd.
Many of those same fans from 20 years ago were in the crowd Thursday night wearing Weatherspoon’s No. 11 jersey.
“I know those fans in there,” Weatherspoon said. “I know them, I know a lot of the faces. There was a connection. ... There’s a lot of love that we have for each other and I would lead by saying how much I love them and appreciate them and nothing will ever change that. Nothing.”
I’m going to show my love for them and show my appreciation to everyone in New York City,” Weatherspoon said. “I hope you see this and know I love you all very much from the bottom of my heart, me and my family.”
Angel Reese added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Sky (2-1).
