The Liberty’s frustrations that first emerged when the Commissioner’s Cup championship shifted from Barclays Center to UBS Arena still haven’t faded.
Breanna Stewart , making a move during the Liberty’s game against the Lynx, said she does not like the fact the Commissioners Cup game is being played at UBS Arena, rather than Barclays Center.Jonquel Jones used the words “frustrated” and “annoyed” to express the Liberty’s frustration for not truly hosting the title game despite their 5-0 record — with all of those games across an eight-day stretch — to emerge as the Eastern Conference’s representative.
Jonquel Jones, grabbing a rebound vs. the Lynx, said she wished the Commissioners Cup final should be played at Barclays Center and not UBS Arena.Stewart went to an Islanders game before the WNBA campaign began, and Stewart, Jones and head coach Sandy Brondello complimented the facility’s transformation into a basketball court.Asked about her first impressions of the arena, though, Jones responded with, “You want me to be honest? The only thing I felt was that it’s not Barclays.
Maybe there are other groups of spectators who could attend with the different venue, she added, but Jones said it felt similar to a road game because she packed clothes in a suitcase and rode a bus. They needed to defeat the Mystics on June 9 — which they did, 93-88 — to clinch the home-court advantage at the end of their cluster of games.Jones said there will be conversations, at some point, to make sure that the scenario doesn’t materialize for another team in the future.
