Ab initio molecular dynamics is used to study deformations of sodium clusters
at temperatures $500\cdots 1100$ K. Open-shell Na$_{14}$ cluster has two shape
isomers, prolate and oblate, in the liquid state. The deformation is stabilized
by opening a gap at the Fermi level. The closed-shell Na$_8$ remains magic also
at the liquid state.
