00:00Let's look ahead to Sunday's road trip finale in the ATL.

00:04What are the key adjustments that the Liberty need to make

00:06to close out the road trip with a win over the Dream?

00:09So the first thing I would say is the star backcourt there, right?

00:14The Ryan Howard, Alicia Gray backcourt.

00:17That's what you need to stop when you're there.

00:19Atlanta had them on the ropes the last time these two teams faced off.

00:22They were up by 17 in the third quarter before the Liberty came back and won.

00:26So it starts with that backcourt.

00:28It starts with those two.

00:29But also Brianna Jones.

00:31For a team that is struggling so much to stop opponents from offensive rebounding,

00:36that's where Breezy lives.

00:38We're seeing Brittany Griner kind of playing spurts right now.

00:42She's starting with them, but it's becoming Naz Hillman's role,

00:46and Naz is someone else who crashes the offensive glass.

00:48That's the biggest weakness.

00:50The Liberty in the last couple of games have cleaned up some of their turnover problems.

00:54Just 12 last night, and I believe it was 10 the game before,

00:56after averaging 18 a game in the three games before that.

01:00So they're cleaning up some of those messes so that they can get into some more of that half-court defense.

01:05But the biggest thing for them is to get stops early with those guards,

01:10get out and run, and make sure that you're finding a body and crashing that glass.

01:14All right.

01:15We will see if the Liberty can do that, if they can get a win in the ATL.

01:18We'll make the road trip 2-2.

01:21Bit of a struggle for the Liberty, as Miles mentioned, 2-4 in their last six games.
