Don't make an appointment to the eye doctor yet. The New York Liberty really are up 56 points on the Connecticut Sun as of publication of this piece, which comes at the beginning of the fourth quarter at Barclays.
New York is a powerhouse, and Connecticut is in clear rebuild mode after trading franchise star Alyssa Thomas this offseason. Still — this is a blowout of all blowouts. NYL is playing one of the best games in the history of the league on both ends. It's a nice chaser for New York basketball fans who had to watch their Knicks get eliminated from the NBA Playoffs the night prior.
