The WNBA Features the New York Liberty vs. Atlanta Dream
The WNBA Features the New York Liberty vs. Atlanta DreamThe New York Liberty vs. Atlanta Dream game will be the feature game in the WNBA on Thursday night as the league continues the regular season.

The New York Liberty have struggled to find any sort of consistency through eight games, though it appears Cappie Pondexter has after four straight 20-point performances.

Facing the Atlanta Dream should help Pondexter and her teammates recall their worst performance of the first month.

Pondexter scored a season-low seven points and the Liberty were routed by 21 earlier this month by the Dream, a defeat they’ll look to avenge as they seek a third straight victory Thursday night in Atlanta.

New York (4-4) began its season with a pair of wins, the first a 94-88 victory at Philips Arena as Plenette Pierson scored 25 points.

The Liberty, though, went on to lose four straight, including a 79-58 home loss to Atlanta (2-7) on June 14. Angel McCoughtry, who missed the teams’ first meeting with a sprained left knee, led the way with 18 points for the Dream while Pondexter missed nine of her 12 shots.

Pondexter has bounced back, and in her last two games, she’s helped her team do the same. The four-time All-Star had 23 points and 10 assists in a 94-82 win at Tulsa last Thursday, and finished with 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists in a 77-67 victory over visiting Los Angeles on Sunday.

Pondexter was named Eastern Conference player of the week Monday, receiving the award for the 11th time - fourth most in WNBA history.

New York’s win over the Sparks was its first in three tries at Newark’s Prudential Center, its home the next three summers while Madison Square Garden undergoes renovations.

“Our players have to get a comfort here. … We need to establish we can win here,” coach John Whisenant said. “We need to win at home and make people afraid to come into Prudential to play the Liberty.”

As New York knows, the Dream certainly haven’t made Philips Arena an intimidating venue for visitors. Atlanta fell to 1-5 on its home court - 1-3 during its five-game homestand - with a 92-86 loss to San Antonio on Sunday.

That defeat may have stung the most. The Dream led 78-71 after Coco Miller’s free throw with 5:02 to go, but fell apart from there - though coach Marynell Meadors didn’t seem particularly upset.
