Basketball playoffs at the Garden? Nope, we’re not kidding. With their 88-87 overtime victory at home yesterday against the Connecticut Sun, the New York Liberty locked up the second seed in the Eastern Conference semifinals, winning eleven of their last twelve games to finish with an impressive 22-12 record. Cappie Pondexter, Taj McWilliams-Franklin, Nicole Powell, and the Liberty will open the postseason Thursday night, taking on Tamika Catchings, Katie Douglas, Tammy Sutton-Brown, and the Indiana Fever in a best two-out-three series. Game two will take place Sunday in the Hoosier State, with the rubber match scheduled for the Garden on September 1 if necessary. The Liberty are the hottest team in New York right now, and who knows what the Knicks are going to be like, so catch Garden playoff fever while you can; tickets go on sale today.
