Sabally Sisters: Tearin' Up the WNBA
Chit-Chat
The Sabally sisters are giving European basketball a miss, but they're still killin' it stateside in the WNBA.
Satou Slayin' the Liberty
Satou Sabally, the elder Sabally sis, bagged a win for her Phoenix Mercury squad against the defending champs, New York Liberty - who just happen to have her little sis, Nyara, on board. In a 106:91 beatdown, Satou shone as the top point-getter, netting a whopping 25 points, with a jaw-droppin' 7-for-10 from three-point range.
Nyara's Career-High Night
Two years younger than Satou, Nyara teed off on a personal-best 16 points in the WNBA. She stepped onto the court for her inaugural head-to-head against Satou, and with Leonie Fiebich out due to duty with the German team in the European Championship, that left an opportunity for her to shine.
New York Liberty dropped four of their past six games after cruisin' to a 9-0 start. Phoenix moved ahead of them thanks to the win, slippin' into second place. The two-time All-Star joined Phoenix after five years with Dallas before this season and is currently the fifth-best scorer in the league.
