Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty are one win away from claiming the franchise’s first WNBA title after a shocking 80-77 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 3 of the finals on Wednesday, taking a 2-1 series lead. With the score tied at 77 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Liberty star forward Ionescu knocked down the game-winning three-pointer from near the logo with just over two seconds remaining in the game. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Liberty leading up to the game-winner. They found themselves down at halftime behind Lynx guard Kayla McBride, who finished the first half with 13 points. The Liberty found some fight and clawed back in the second half behind Breanna Stewart. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Liberty tied the game at 66 after Stewart knocked down a three. Both teams kept trading scores until Liberty forward Jonquel Jones’ layup gave her team the lead, and Ionescu would add a three-pointer with just under a minute left to make it a 77-73 game. But it wasn’t over yet, as Lynx star Napheesa Collier made both her free throws to tie the game back up at 77 with 16 seconds left.
