Jemele Hill calls out New York Liberty coaches after Breanna Stewart questions WNBA referees
The New York Liberty and Breanna Stewart supposedly received incorrect information in a crucial moment in their Game 2 loss against the Atlanta Dream, but Jemele Hill thinks it’s no excuse. Breanna Stewart blamed a late-game officiating error for the New York Liberty failing to use their reset timeout in their 101-98 overtime loss.
In the aftermath of the New York Liberty's Game 2 loss to the Atlanta Dream, Jemele Hill criticized the Liberty's coaches for not adequately monitoring the situation regarding the reset timeout. After Breanna Stewart questioned the referees about the team's timeout status, the officials confirmed that the Liberty had none remaining.
This detail could have potentially altered the game's outcome and, by extension, the series. Atlanta now holds a 2-0 lead over the Liberty, a deficit that appears challenging to overcome. While Hill acknowledged the possibility of officiating errors, she stressed that the responsibility ultimately lies with the team to remain vigilant about the game's status and make necessary moves to secure victory.
