Liberty can finally feel like themselves again as second-half gauntlet begins

INDIANAPOLIS — The past few days surrounding the WNBA All-Star Game were filled with fun and productivity.

Players partied, danced and made surprise appearances —regardless of whether they wanted to — on Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman’s 72-hour stream.

They also used the weekend to regroup as a collective while collective bargaining agreement negotiations heat up. They sent a message Saturday night, too, by wearing “Pay us what you owe us” T-shirts.

The Liberty, specifically, had a strong showing.
