Sabrina Ionescu Leads Liberty to Brink of First WNBA Title

The New York Liberty are one win away from their inaugural championship after Ionescu's game-winning three-pointer in Game 3 against the Minnesota Lynx.

  • Sabrina Ionescu's clutch performance secured an 80-77 victory for the Liberty, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the WNBA Finals.
  • The Liberty's Game 3 win was marked by Ionescu's decisive shot with just one second left on the clock, a moment she had repeatedly visualized and prepared for.
  • The Minnesota Lynx, facing elimination, have expressed concerns over officiating and are relying on key players like Alanna Smith, who is recovering from an injury, to make a comeback.
  • Tensions are high as the Lynx aim to extend the series in Game 4, with both teams showcasing strong performances and strategic plays throughout the finals.
  • The Liberty's potential first championship win would break a long-standing drought, having previously reached the finals several times without success.
