The Dallas Wings are visiting the New York Liberty on Thursday night in New York. The Dallas Wings have had a real struggling season this year with a record of 6-21. The Wings have lost eight out of their last 10 games played.  The Wings’ crippling season has been due to bad luck with injuries, bad defense, and no help in the schedule. The New York Liberty are 24-4 and first in the Eastern Conference. They have had a remarkable season again and looking to move head into the playoffs and back to the WNBA Championship. This should be an easy matchup for the Liberty against a struggling team.
