After the Liberty loss to the Wings, New York needs to work on its weaknesses or they will continue to lose. They can not put all their hopes on Sabrina. As they prepare to face the Atlanta Dream tomorrow at 7 pm EST, they must improve on defense. The 2-0 Wings need to continue to keep up that great work. The Wings will be back in action tomorrow at 8 pm EST, taking on the Indiana Fever.
